32 Local Console Manager LCM8 and LCM16 Installation and User’s Guide
Managing users
The LCM8/LCM16 switch OBWI provides local login security through administrator-defined user
accounts. By selecting the
Configure tab and then selecting Users on the side menu bar,
administrators may add, delete, and change passwords.
Access levels
When a user account is added to the OBWI, the user is assigned as the Appliance Administrator.
The Appliance Administrator can configure OBWI system-level settings, configure access rights,
add, change and delete user accounts, and change their own password.
Setting up user accounts
When you select the User category, the OBWI will retrieve and display a list of usernames from
the LCM8/LCM16 switch. From here, you can add, modify, or delete users. The Appliance
Administrator can set up preemptions, configure network and global settings (security mode, time-
out, Simple Network Management Protocol), Reboot, Flash upgrade, administer user accounts, and
monitor server status.
Users can become locked out by the Security Lock-out feature if they try to enter an invalid
password five consecutive times. You can configure Security Lock-out settings as well as unlock
any user through the Users category.
Modifying users
To add or modify a user:
1. Click the Configure tab in the OBWI, then click the Users category in the left column.
