Under “User Management” in the main menu, select “System Users”.
To delete a user, or several users, click with the mouse to place a check mark in the check boxes to the left of the user number(s).
(The user “root” cannot be deleted.) Then click on “Delete Checked User names”.
To add a user, enter the name desired for the new user (maximum 50 characters) and press “Add User”. The page will expand to
include configuration criteria for the user.
Figure 99- User configuration
Users have the following parameters to be configured:
Name
: Names can be changed as desired (up to 50 alphabetical or numeric characters).
Group
: Each operator must be defined as either a “Admin” type operator with full administrative rights, or as a “User” type
operator with only the ability to access ports as defined under Port Configuration (page 48).
Shell
: The Shell parameter defines where the operator will be directed to when they login to the SERIMUX through Telnet or
SSH. Choices for “Admin” operators include:
-
Command line- SERIMUX will open a command line interface
-
Config menu- SERIMUX will open configuration menu
-
Port Connect menu- SERIMUX will open Port Connect menu
Operators defined as “Users” can only make connections to ports, so their only option will be to login to the Port Connect
menu.
Password
: Enter a password for the selected user to use at log in (up to 50 alphabetical or numeric characters- case sensitive)
All passwords can be changed except the “root” password. A user must be logged in as “root” to change the
password for user “root”, and it can only be changed from the “Unit Settings” menu (page 57).
If a change is made to the user name, group, or shell, the password for that user must also be provided (whether it is a new
password or an existing password). Otherwise the user will be assigned the default password of “nti” to login the next time.
Note: Irrespective of the Authentication type selected (page 55), all users of the SERIMUX must be added to the system
users list in order to have access to the SERIMUX.
