2.7.3
Setting the TSM-WEB admin password
User / Password Setup is optional on a TSM500i-PCIe when using TSM-WEB from the computer that
hosts the TSM500i-PCIe. To login on a local installation, click
Login as $Local
. When accessing the
TSM500-PCIe from a remote computer, it process is the same as for the TSM500i-NSS which means
TSM-WEB user accounts will need to be setup as detailed below.
Please note
that TSM-WEB is not supplied with default passwords and it is necessary to set a password for the
pre-defined
admin
username before using TSM-WEB.
The TSM-WEB user account passwords must not be confused with, and are not related to, the
Cryptographic Officer passwords that reside in the TSM500i HSM.
When using TSM-WEB with a TSM500i-NSS, it is necessary to LOG IN to TSM-WEB in order to access any of the
menus other than the
Home
page. The web browser will be re-directed to the SSL-secured log-in page. A
warning will first be displayed due to what is believed to be an untrusted connection. The reason for this is
that the certificate is self-signed so this warning can be ignored. In Chrome simply click “Proceed anyway”. In
Mozilla Firefox an exception will need to be added after clicking “I understand the risks”.
2.7.3.1
Setting Admin Password for the first time
If no admin user password has been set, the user will be presented with a screen titled
TSM-WEB Set Admin
Password
and with the following message in red text:
“No password has been set for account 'admin'. Please set one now.”
The username for this account is
admin
(case sensitive) and the user must enter a password for
admin
. The
password must be entered into BOTH boxes provided in order to confirm the new password and then
click
Set Admin Password
.
Once a password has been entered for the
admin
user, the
TSM-WEB Log In
screen will be displayed. You may
then login using username
admin
and your chosen password.
By default, the password must contain at least 6 characters and must include at least one of each of the
following:
Upper case character
Lower case character
Digit
2.7.3.2
Resetting Admin Password
In the event that the password has been lost, you will require access to the TSM500i-NSS front panel. Perform
the following procedure:
Power the TSM500i-NSS off and then power it on again. Watch the LCD display and, when prompted, press
and hold down the red
button and green
button on the front panel until a MAIN MENU appears on the
LCD display. Use the arrow keys to select the
Reset…
option. Press the green accept key and then select the
Admin passwd
option. After confirming, wait until the LCD display returns to the MAIN MENU and then press
the green accept key to continue booting.
Once the TSM500i-NSS has powered up, a new admin password for TSM-WEB may be set in accordance with
section 2.7.3.1.
