Configuring EMC User Accounts
The LANDesk Server Manager keeps detailed records of the actions made under each EMC
user account. The EMC user account differs from your Windows NT or Windows 95 logon
and the server user ID, as explained in the following list:
Type of User Account
Definition
Windows NT logon or
Windows 95 logon
Your logon account on the monitoring console which runs Windows
NT or Windows 95. This account logs you onto the Windows NT or
Windows 95 operating system.
Server user ID
User ID that grants access to server-level information and areas, such
as the NT Performance Monitor and Historian. This user ID allows
the server administrator to have a security access check only for local
or in-band communication with the server. The server administrator
can modify the server user database to control access to the server.
EMC user account
User account that grants access to the Emergency Management Card
(EMC) card-level information.
To configure EMC user accounts:
1. In the Tree pane of the Server Manager Console, expand the Windows NT group, then
the name of the server, then the Tools group, then the Emergency Mgmt. Card
Connection group, and then the Users group. The current EMC user accounts display
under the Users group. By default, root and alert appear in the list.
2. Click Tasks in the List pane, and select Add EMC User from the displayed list.
3. Follow the prompts in the Presentation pane. Note the following when you configure
the EMC user account information:
−
The username is case-sensitive, and may have up to eight alphanumeric characters
(A-Z, a-z, and 0-9).
−
The password must have between four and eight alphanumeric characters.
−
Users may have one of the following rights (privilege types): Administrator,
Read/Write, or Read Only. Users with Administrator rights can access information,
modify existing temperature and voltage thresholds, reset or power down the server,
and modify the user database. Users with Read/Write rights can access information,
modify existing temperature and voltage thresholds, and reset or power down the
server. Users with Read Only rights can access information such as the current
temperature and voltage.
4. Click
Apply.
