Working With User Accounts

account information is centralized and shared by different applications,
simplifying user account management tasks.
To use remote authentication, you must enable LDAP on the library.
Once LDAP is enabled, users can log into the library using either LDAP
or local authentication. To use LDAP authentication, a user must enter a
directory service user name and password and specify an LDAP domain.
About Local User
Accounts
3
Administrative users can create and modify two types of local user
accounts: user and administrative user. These users have different library
privilege levels.
•
User
— has access to one or more assigned partitions and can
perform functions within a partition, such as performing media and
tape drive functions. A user cannot perform actions that affect the
physical library, such as creating, modifying, or deleting a partition.
•
Administrative user
— has access to the entire physical library and all
of its partitions.
The library ships with a default administrative user account. The user
name for this account is
admin
and the password is
password
. You cannot
delete this user account or change the user name, but you can change the
password. The default administrative user account is used to perform the
initial configuration of the library. If you misplace the password for the
default administrative account, contact Quantum Technical Support. For
contact information, see
Getting More Information or Help
on page 8.
See
User Privileges
on page 44 for more information on library
permission levels. For information on changing passwords, see
Modifying Local User Accounts
on page 94.
Creating Local User
Accounts
3
During or after the initial configuration, you can use the default
administrative user account to create up to eighteen additional local user
accounts, including other accounts with administrative privileges. These
administrative users can themselves create other local administrative
user and user accounts. Users without administrative privileges cannot
create user accounts. The library can contain eighteen user accounts,
including the default administrative user account.
