Modifying Root User Administrator Account Settings

For added security, it is strongly recommended that you change the default password of the root (User 1) account. The
root account is the default administrative account that ships with CMC.
To change the default password for the root account using the CMC Web interface:

1.

In the system tree, go to Chassis Overview, and then click User Authentication → Local Users.
The Users page is displayed.

2.

In the User ID column, click user ID 1.

NOTE: User ID 1 is the root user account that is shipped by default with CMC. This cannot be changed.

The User Configuration page is displayed.

3.

Select Change Password check box.

4.

Type the new password in the Password and Confirm Password fields.

5.

Click Apply.
The password is changed for user ID 1.

Configuring Local Users

You can configure up to 16 local users in CMC with specific access permissions. Before you create a CMC local user,
verify if any current users exist. You can set user names, passwords, and roles with the privileges for these users. The
user names and passwords can be changed using any of the CMC secured interfaces (that is, Web interface, RACADM
or WS-MAN).

Configuring Local Users Using CMC Web Interface

To add and configure local CMC users:

NOTE: You must have Configure Users permission to create a CMC user.

1.

In the system tree, go to Chassis Overview, and then click User Authentication → Local Users.
The Users page is displayed.

2.

In the User ID column, click a user ID number.

NOTE: User ID 1 is the root user account that is shipped by default with CMC. This cannot be changed.

The User Configuration page is displayed.

3.

Enable the user ID and specify the user name, password, and access privileges for the user.
