Configuring the Terminal Server 47
Setting Up Users
Setting Up Users
You can create up to four users, in addition to the Admin user (who cannot be deleted).
A user can even represent a device, like a barcode or a card swipe device, that you want to be
authenticated.
User Accounts
When a serial device (like a dumb terminal or a barcode reader) is trying to access a host
through the Terminal Server, you will need to configure user accounts when users:
z
are authenticated by the Terminal Server and then connect to a host.
z want a single or multiple session(s) on a host; here they initially login to the Terminal Server
before starting that session. The Terminal Server is used to configure and start the session.
When a host is accessing a serial device (like a modem or a server), you will need to configure
user accounts where users:
z
are using a reverse telnet connection to manage a UNIX server or a router.
User Levels
There are four
User Levels
:
Admin
,
Normal
,
Restricted
, and
Menu
. Setting up users is only
necessary when the users are actually connecting to the Terminal Server. Oftentimes, the
Terminal Server is used as a gateway to a network and the user never actually logs into the
Terminal Server itself. Users who do log into the Terminal Server (
Line Service set to DSLogin
and
User Service
set to
DSPrompt
) will have to navigate by either the Menu or CLI (except for
users with
Menu
privileges, who can only use the Menu).
z
Admin —Users with Admin privileges have full administrative access to the BLACK BOX
®
Terminal Server. This is not the same as the Admin user, but has equal authority (the Admin
user is a permanent, factory-set user on the BLACK BOX
®
Terminal Server).
z
Normal —Users with Normal privileges have access to the Sessions menu and associated
CLI only. They can start sessions, define and predefine sessions, and can change their own
user environment.
z Restricted —Users with
Restricted
privileges have access to a restricted Sessions menu
and associated CLI; they can only open sessions predefined for them by the Admin user, but
not alter their own environment or sessions. Predefined sessions can also be configured to
start automatically at login.
z
Menu —Users with Menu privileges have access to predefined session. All other functionality
is unavailable.
When the Admin user logs into the Terminal Server, the prompt ends with a
#
, whereas all other
users’ prompts ends with a
$
or
£
, depending on the character set.
