To edit any of the user element values, use the same approach as when adding user elements, that is, use the “-‐s”
parameter. If any of the config elements do not exist, they will automatically be created.
To delete the user called John, use the delete-‐node script:
# ./delete-‐node config.users.user2
The following command will synchronize the live system with the new configuration:
# config -‐r users
14.4 Adding and removing User Groups
The
console server
is configured with a few default user groups (even though only two of these groups are visible in the
Management Console GUI). To find out how many groups are already present:
# config -‐g config.groups.total
Assume this value is six. Make sure you number any new groups you create from seven and up.
To add a custom group to the configuration with Group name=Group7, Group description=MyGroup and Port access=
1,5 you’d issue the commands:
# config -‐s config.groups.group7.name=Group7
# config -‐s config.groups.group7.description=MyGroup
# config -‐s config.groups.total=7
# config -‐s config.groups.group7.port1=on
# config -‐s config.groups.group7.port5=on
Assume we have an RPC device connected to port 1 on the console manager, and the RPC is configured. To give this
group access to RPC outlet number 3 on the RPC device, run the two commands below:
# config -‐s config.ports.port1.power.outlet3.groups.group1=Group7
# config -‐s config.ports.port1.power.outlet3.groups.total=1 (total number of groups that have access to this
outlet)
If more groups are given access to this power outlet, then increment the
'config.ports.port1.power.outlet3.groups.total
'
element accordingly.
To give this group access to network host 5:
# config -‐s config.sdt.hosts.host5.groups.group1=Group7
# config -‐s config.sdt.hosts.host5.groups.total=1 (total number of groups having access to host)
To give another group called 'Group8' access to the same host:
# config -‐s config.sdt.hosts.host5.groups.group2=Group8
# config -‐s config.sdt.hosts.host5.groups.total=2 (total number of users having access to host)
To delete the group called Group7, use the following command:
# rmuser Group7
Attention: The
rmuser
script is a generic script to remove any config element from config.xml correctly. However, any
dependencies or references to this group will not be affected. Only the group details are deleted. The
Administrator
is
responsible for going through
config.xml
and removing group dependencies and references manually, specifically if the
group had access to a host or RPC device.
The following command will synchronize the live system with the new configuration:
