Field/Item Description
Name The name of the new user account. This name will be
requested when logging in to the SMU. The rules for user
names are:
■
For Global administrators only, if the user will access the
SMU through the CLI, the user name:
●
Must start with a letter or an underscore, and may
consist of up to 31 alphanumeric characters and the
underscore (
_
) and the hyphen (
-
).
●
Cannot match certain special purpose names: root,
manager, postgres, nobody, or nfsnobody.
●
Cannot match certain special purpose user ID numbers:
for example, those with uid less than 502.
■
For all types of administrators, if the user will access the
SMU only through NAS Manager, the user name may consist
of alphanumeric characters and/or the underscore (
_
), the
hyphen (
-
), the equal sign (
=
), parentheses "
(
" or "

",
brackets (
[
or

), the pound sign (
#
) and the exclamation
point (
!
).
■
Supervisor is a reserved system user name. It is not
available as a new user name.
Note: If you are using RADIUS realms, and the
global administrator will access the SMU using both
NAS Manager and the CLI, use the underscore (
_
) to
combine the user name and the realm: for example,
johnsmith_realm2
. If the global administrator will
access the SMU using only NAS Manager, you can
use the at sign (
@
) to combine the user name and
the realm: for example,
johnsmith@realm3
.
User Type The user type is either local or RADIUS .
■
Local users are those whose passwords are locally defined
and authenticated in the SMU.

authenticated in an external RADIUS servers. The RADIUS
administrator must add a user name and password to all
RADIUS servers.
Password Enter the password that will be used when this user account
logs in. The password cannot exceed 256 characters.
