Overcoming Lost Passwords
If you have lost the password for the operator or viewer account, you can log in to the web interface as admin
and reset the password using the procedure described in
Setting and Changing User Passwords
.
If you have lost the admin password and you have remote support enabled on the system, you can contact
Epiphan support to request a remote password change. See
Support
. If remote support is disabled, you will
need to return the system to Epiphan for password recovery. Contact Epiphan support to discuss this option.
Configure LDAP
You can use the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) for authentication into the system. Specify user
roles by using group DNs for users who log in as the administrator, operator, or as a viewer.
The system has only
one
admin user and
one
operator: LDAP users log in as either the admin or
operator, they do not have their own private profiles.
