created. The user logging in will be asked to create and verify their password.
Existing User Login
If a user is logging in for the first time using an existing TerraBlock user (a user that
existed prior to version 5.6) the user will be asked to create and verify their
password.
Once a TerraBlock user has
successfully logged in to the
TerraBlock system, the user’s
name will be displayed in the
Username column of the
TerraBlock Manager’s ‘Volume’
tab.
Disable Automatic User Creation
Automatic user creation is the default setting on the TerraBlock server when the
username and password login feature is enabled. This feature can be disabled from
the ‘Admin Settings’ tab in the TerraBlock Manager at the server. After all users
have been created, this can be selected to prevent additional users from being
created in the event of misspelling, etc.
New TerraBlock users must then be
created from a client with Admin
access or from the TerraBlock server.
Changing User Passwords
TerraBlock Users may change their passwords using
the ‘Change Password’ option via the ‘File Menu’ in the
client TerraBlock Manager.
Note: in a multi-server environment, users will
be prompted for username and password once the setting has been enabled
on any one of the TerraBlock servers.
Volumes that are left mounted when logging out of the local machine
will be accessible to other local machine users after logging in to the
local machine. In order to prevent other local users from accessing
volumes, always un-mount all volumes prior to switching TerraBlock
users or logging out of your local machine.
