Console Server & RIM Gateway User Manual
To simplify user set up, they can be configured as members of Groups. With firmware V3.5.2 and later there are five
Groups set up by default (where earlier versions only had
admin
and
user
by default):
admin
Provides users with unlimited configuration and management privileges
pptpd
Group to allow access to the PPTP VPN server. Users in this group will have their password
stored in clear text.
dialin
Group to allow dialin access via modems. Users in this group will have their password stored in
clear text.
ftp
Group to allow ftp access and file access to storage devices
pmshell
Group to set default shell to pmshell
users
Provides users with basic management privileges
Note:
1. Membership of the
admin
group provides the user with full
Administrator
privileges. The
admin
user
(
Administrator
) can access the
console server
using any of the services which have been enabled in
System:
Services
e.g. if only HTTPS has been enabled then the
Administrator
can only access the
console server
using
HTTPS. However once logged in they can reconfigure the
console server
settings (e.g. to enabled HTTP/Telnet
for future access). They can also access any of the connected Hosts or serial port devices using any of the
services that have been enabled for these connections. But again the
Administrator
can reconfigure the access
services for any Host or serial port. So only trusted users should have
Administrator
access
2. Membership of the
user
group provides the user with limited access to the
console server
and connected Hosts
and serial devices. These
Users
can access only the Management section of the Management Console menu
and they have no command line access to the
console server
. They also can only access those Hosts and serial
devices that have been checked for them, using services that have been enabled
3. If a user is set up with
pptd, dialin, ftp
or
pmshell
group membership they will have restricted user shell access
to the nominated managed devices but they will not have any direct access to the console server itself. To add
this the users must also be a member of the "users" or "admin" groups
4. The
Administrator
can also set up additional Groups with specific power device, serial port and host access
permissions.
However users in these additional groups don’t have any access to the Management Console menu
nor do they have any command line access to the
console server
itself.
5. The
Administrator
can also set up users with specific power device, serial port and host access permissions, who
are not a member of any Groups. Similarly these users
don’t have any access to the Management Console menu
nor do they have any command line access to the
console server
itself.
6. For
convenience the SDT Connector “Retrieve Hosts” function retrieves and auto-configures checked serial ports
and checked hosts only, even for admin group users
4.2.1
