10: User Authentication
SecureLinx SLC User Guide
95
Login
The name the user enters to log in to the SLC. May have up to
32 alphanumeric characters.
UID
A unique numeric identifier the system administrator assigns to
each user. Valid UIDs are 101-4294967295.
Note:
The UID must be unique. If it is not, SLC automatically
increments it. Starting at 101, the SLC finds the next unused
UID.
Password/
Retype Password
When a user logs into the SLC, the SLC prompts for a
password (up to 64 characters). The sysadmin establishes that
password here.
Enable for
Dial-back
Select to grant a local user dial-back access (see
Device Ports – Settings
on page 64). Users with dial-back
access can dial into the SLC and enter their login and
password. Once the SLC authenticates them, the modem
hangs up and dials them back. Disabled by default.
Dial-back
Number
The phone number the modem dials back on depends on this
setting for the device port. The user is either dialed back on a
fixed number (specified on the Device Port - Settings page), or
on a number that is associated with the user’s login (specified
here).
3. Enter information about the specific functions the user will be permitted to access:
Listen Ports
The device ports that the user may access to view data using
the
connect listen
command. Enter the port numbers or
the range of port numbers (for example, 1, 5, 8, 10-15).
Data Ports
The device ports with which the user may interact using the
connect direct
command. Enter the port numbers or the
range of port numbers.
Clear Port
Buffers
The device port buffers the users may clear using the
set
locallog clear
command. Enter the port numbers or the
range of port numbers.
Escape
Sequence
A series of one to ten characters that cause the SLC to leave
direct (interactive) mode. (To leave listen mode, press any key.)
A suggested value is
Esc+A
(escape key, then uppercase "A"
performed quickly but not simultaneously). You would specify
this value as
\x1bA
, which is hexadecimal
(\x)
character 27
(
1B
) followed by an
A
.
This setting allows the user to terminate the
connect direct
command on the command line interface when the endpoint of
the command is
deviceport
,
tcp
, or
udp
.
For more information on escape sequences, see
Interacting
with a Device Port
on page 73.
