Right now you are probably asking yourself, “How am I going to remember that?” It’s easy, the
password above is an acronym taken from: “3 blind mice see how they run”. Making a good
password is that easy! But please, don’t use the above example password for your SmartNode
device.
6.8 Configure Operators and Administrators
To secure the system, as well as to enable remote access to the system, you must create operator and
administrator login accounts. These accounts are valid system-wide. Operators and administrators
are allowed to log in directly to the console and through Telnet.
Because of security reasons you have to define new administrator and operator accounts, depending
on your employees and their responsibilities. For more details check the SmartWare
Command
Reference Guide .
Note:
Only administrators are allowed to create new administrator and operator accounts.
6.9 Factory Preset Administrator Account
As mentioned in Chapter 6.6, “Log On to SmartWare”, at the very beginning a factory preset
administrator account with name
administrator and an empty password exists in SmartWare. After
adding a new administrator account, the factory preset administrator account will be automatically
deleted and only the newly created administrator account is available. It is possible to create more
than one administrator account. There has to be at least one administrator account defined. If for any
reason the very last administrator account is deleted, the factory preset administrator account with
name
administrator and an empty password is recreated automatically by SmartWare.
6.10 Create an Operator Account
Operators do not have privileges to run the enable command and therefore cannot modify the
system configuration. Operators are able to view partial system information.
Creating a new operator account needs the following procedure:
