Enabling Allow Concurrent Logins means that two or more users can log on at the same time. Each user has
equal access and each interface (HTTP, FTP, telnet console, serial console (CLI), etc.) counts as a logged-in
user. Allow Concurrent Logins allows a maximum of eight users logged into the web interface, five users
logged into the CLI and one user logged into the serial console at the same time.
Remote Authentication Override: The NMC supports Radius storage of passwords on a server. However, if
you enable this override, the NMC will allow a local user to log on using the password for the NMC that is
stored locally on the NMC. See also “Local Users” and “Remote Users authentication”.
Ping Response
Path: Configuration > Security > Ping Response
Enable the IPv4 Ping Response check box to allow the Network Management Card 3 to respond to network
pings. This does not apply to IPv6.
Local Users
Use these menu options to view, and to set up access and individual preferences (like displayed date format),
to the NMC user interfaces. This applies to users as defined by their logon name.
Path: Configuration > Security > Local Users > Management
Setting user access.
With this option an administrator or super user can list and configure the users allowed
access to the UI. Click on the name link to view details, and to edit or delete a user.
Click on Add User to add a user. On the resulting User Configuration screen, you can add a user and
withhold access by clearing the Access check box. The maximum length for both the name and password is
64 bytes, with less for multi-byte characters. You have to enter a password.
Values greater than 64 bytes in Name and Password might get truncated.
To change an administrator/ super user setting, you must enter all three password fields.
Create a password using a combination of lower and uppercase characters, numbers and special
characters. Passwords can be no longer than 64 ASCII characters.
Use Session Timeout to configure the time that this UI waits before logging off this user (three minutes by
default). If you change this value, you must log off for the change to take effect.
Serial Remote Authentication Override: By selecting this, you can bypass RADIUS by using the serial
console (CLI) connection. This screen enables it for the selected user, but it must also be enabled globally to
work, through “Session Management screen”.
See also “Configuration > Security > Local Users > Default Settings” below. For background information on
accounts see “Types of user accounts”.
