Change User ID
To change the user ID for the User security level (the only security level that
allows the user ID to be changed), follow the steps below.
1 Type “1” to change the user ID for the User security level.
2 Type the new User ID (up to 17 characters) and press Enter. The IAD
informs you that the user ID has been updated.
3 Reset the IAD.
Including User IDs and Passwords in Config Files for Multiple Site
Distribution
If you create master configuration files for distribution to multiple IADs, you
may include the user ID and passwords directly in the config.st configuration
file to reduce configuration tasks.
NOTICE: When the user ID and passwords are stored in the config.st file, the IAD
automatically rewrites the configuration file during the next system
boot. The user ID and passwords are stripped from the configuration
file before saving to prevent a security risk.
Using a text editor, update the config.st file by adding the following user
category and attributes:
[user]
userid={string}
password={string}
netman-password={string}
support-password={string}
The password parameter is for User-level access, the “netman” password is
for Network-Administrator-level access, and the “supervisor” password is for
Supervisor-level access.
