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.
