User Accounts and Groups
202
Note:
It is also possible to select more than one account by using the
Ctrl
and
Shift
keys to perform mass changes of parameters for all selected accounts.
In mapped
Active Directory
domains, it is not allowed to create or/and remove user accounts.
These actions must be performed in the
Active Directory
database on the relevant domain
server. It is also not possible to import user accounts — such an action would take no effect
in case of a mapped domain.
15.2 Local user accounts
Local accounts are accounts created in the
Administration Console
or imported from a do-
main. These accounts are stored in the
WinRoute’s
configuration database (in the
userDB.cfg
file under the
WinRoute’s
installation directory). These accounts can be useful especially in
domainless environments or for special purposes (e.g. firewall’s administration).
Regardless on the method used for creation of the account, each user can be authenticated
through the
WinRoute’s
internal database,
Active Directory
or
Windows NT
domain.
A basic administrator account is created during the
WinRoute
installation process. This ac-
count has full rights for
WinRoute
administration. It can be removed if there is at least one
other account with full administration rights.
Warning
1.
All passwords should be kept safe and secret, otherwise they might be misused by an
unauthorized person.
2.
If all accounts with full administration rights are removed and connection to
Administra-
tion Console
is closed, it is not possible to connect to the
WinRoute
administration any
longer. Under these conditions, a local user account (
Admin
with a blank password) will
be created automatically upon the next start of the
WinRoute Firewall Engine
.
3.
If the administration password is forgotten,
contact our technical support at
.
Creating a local user account
Open the
User Accounts
tab in the
User and groups
→
Users
section. In the
Domain
combo
box, select
Local User Database
.
Click on the
Add
button to open a guide to create a new user account.
