2.2.2
Individual Administrator Accounts
Up to thirteen usable administrative accounts can be present
on the Bridge’s local administrator database at one time.
Three of these are preconfigured with the fixed user names:
admin
,
maintenance
and
logviewer
, reflecting the default
administrative
Role
of each account. While they can be
reconfigured (refer to Section 2.2.2.9), preconfigured
administrative accounts cannot be deleted.

frame, all platforms
In Advanced View, you can add up to ten additional local
administrative accounts and configure additional account
parameters for both pre-configured and manually created
accounts.
On Bridges configured to authenticate administrators through a
third-party or Fortress
RADIUS
server (refer to Section 2.2.1.6),
an additional ten
Learned
administrative accounts can appear
on the
Admin Users page
.
NOTE:
In order for
any account in the
local administrator da-
tabase to authenticate
an administrator, the
Bridge must be using
the local administrator
database for that pur-
pose (whether it has
been configured for
Lo-
cal
administrator au-
thentication or has
failed back to the local
administrator database
(Section 2.2.1.6).
Learned
administrative accounts are not immediately usable to
locally authenticate administrators. In order to be usable for
local authentication, accounts for
Learned
administrators must
be converted to configured accounts on the local administrator
database (refer to Section 2.2.2.8).
Learned
accounts
converted to configured accounts are retained in the local
administrator database and count toward the maximum total of
thirteen configured accounts.
Although the credentials associated with a
Learned
account are
initially learned by the local administrator database from an
administrative account on another authentication service, the
two accounts are not linked in any way after the
Learned
account has been converted to a configured account.
