User Account Security
User account security is the process by which your user account and password
are authenticated with the list of valid user accounts and passwords. The switch
validates your account and password when you attempt to add a fabric using
SANsurfer Switch Manager or log in to a switch through Telnet. Your system
administrator defines accounts, passwords, and authority levels that are stored on
the switch. Refer to
”Managing User Accounts” on page 4-1
The Admin account possesses Admin authority which grants full access to all
tasks of the SANsurfer Switch Manager menu system. The switch validates your
user account and SANsurfer Switch Manager grants access to its menus
according to your authority level. If you do not have Admin authority, you are
limited to monitoring tasks.

Security Consistency Checklist
The Security Consistency Checklist dialog enables you to compare
security-related features on switches to check for inconsistencies. Any changes
must be made through the appropriate dialog, such as Network Properties dialog,
Switch Properties dialog, or SNMP Properties dialog. To open the Security
Consistency Checklist dialog, open the Switch menu and select Security
Consistency Checklist.
Note:
If a user is logged into a switch using SANsurfer Switch Manager or
CLI, and an administrator changes user access rights and passwords,
existing logins will not be affected by the new settings. Login access
and privileges are only checked for a new login request.
