User’s Manual
User List
Each line (entry) in the User List defines a user. Initially, the User List defines the
default user, a Super User. The Super User has total authority. Refer to the Security
Level description later in this text. The User List also always contains a blank line
for creating a new user.
You may modify any entry by selecting the information in a field in the entry and
typing new information. Press Apply when your changes are complete. You may
create a new user by the blank line.
The first Super User is encouraged to modify these defaults to reflect real users.
After all changes are made to this window, press the Apply button to implement
the changes.
The following describes each field in a Users List entry.
Name
This field is case sensitive. The Name field contains the User Name. The default is
su. Modify this field by selecting the field content and typing new information.
Press the tab key to move to the password field.
Password
This field is case sensitive. The Password field contains the user password. The
default is su. Modify this field by selecting the field content and typing new infor-
mation. The maximum password length is 64 characters. The password is visible as
long as you remain in this field. After typing the password, ensure that what you
want has been typed correctly. The password will change to asterisks as soon as
you move to any other field in the window. If a non-super user password is
forgotten, the super user may enter this window, highlight the affected password
and enter a new password. If the super user password is forgotten, it will not be
possible run the SANsurfer application from this switch. However, if another
switch has been accessed and the SANsurfer application is currently running, it is
possible to access this switch.
To ensure that security is in place, it is recommended that any switch with Ethernet
access be given user names and passwords.
Fabric Name
The Fabric Name field contains the name of the file, or files, that the application
uses to store user list data. You may have more than one file. The default file name
is default.fab. You may use any name you want. Modify this field by selecting the
field content and typing new information.
Security Level
The Security Level field contains the user authority. The defaults are Guest and
SuperUser.
