Black Box Console Server user guide 93
Configuring users
You need to configure user accounts on the Console Server (the ‘unit’) for those
users who are tasked with administering the attached devices or Remote Access
connections. If you are using a RADIUS host you may not need user accounts for
those users who are authenticated by the RADIUS host; see
Configuring a dial in line
on page 74 .
When you set up a User account you will see, as an example, the following form in
the text menus:
More detail on this form is contained in Configuring a user account on page 100.
When telneting or using SSH to connect to a port, the user will need to supply a user
name and password.
The remote access connections where you will need to configure user accounts
are where users:
• are being provided a remote access service, i.e. a SLIP or PPP connection, and
they are being authenticated by unit.
As the system administrator you will have your own user account (default name
‘admin’).
The unit’s login accounts are password-protected and assigned a user level; this level
restricts the user to certain commands; see
About user levels on page 108 . A maximum
of 32 user accounts can be created.
