7 SECURITY
The EMB Hub has three levels of security. These are “operator”, “user” and “admin”. When using a browser
to access the EMB Hub , basic http authentication is used to prompt your browser for a username and
password. The admin account uses “admin” as the default password. To change the password, select the
Accounts menu from the left side tree display. Next, select the account name. Click the “Change Password”
button to set a new password for the selected account.
admin:
This account has full access to modify any of the system settings. The default password is “admin”.
operator:
This account may view settings, however may only change Modbus alarm ranges and device.
user:
This account can view some system settings including the Modbus device status pages and
can change.
When using FTP to access the EMB Hub , you may use the admin account username/password for read
only access. Log information is stored in /var/log/modbus. For read write delete access, use the login name
“root” and the admin password.
The three usernames specified are not able to be changed or renamed, nor can arbitrary usernames be
added to the EMB Hub. Access is only controlled by setting the password for the three existing
usernames noted.
The “operator” and “user” accounts are disabled by default. These accounts are activated when you first set
a password for each.
