Local database user accounts

User add, change, and delete operations are subject to the subset rule: an admin with ADlist 0-10
or LFlist 1-10 cannot perform operations on an admin, user, or any role with an ADlist 11-25 or
LFlist 11-128. The user account being changed must have an ADlist or LFlist that is a subset of the
account that is making the change.

In addition to the default administrative and user accounts, Fabric OS supports up to 252
user-defined accounts in each logical switch (domain). These accounts expand your ability to track
account access and audit administrative activities.

Default accounts

Table 14

lists the predefined accounts offered by Fabric OS available in the local switch user

database. The password for all default accounts should be changed during the initial installation
and configuration for each switch.

Admin Domain and Virtual Fabric considerations: Administrators can act on other accounts only if
that account has an Admin Domain or Logical Fabric list that is a subset of the administrator.

Displaying account information

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.

2. Enter the appropriate show operands for the account information you want to display:

userConfig

--

show -a to show all account information for a logical switch

userConfig

--

show username to show account information for the specified account

userConfig

--

showad -a adminDomain_ID to show all accounts permitted to select the

specified adminDomain_ID

userConfig

--

showlf -l logicalFabric_ID for each LF in an LF_ID_list, displays a list of users

that include that LF in their LF permissions.

Creating an account

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.

2. Enter the userConfig

--

add command.

3. In response to the prompt, enter a password for the account.

The password is not displayed when you enter it on the command line.
