Chapter 9 Managing User Accounts
• The user groups in which the user will be included. Each user group contains specific access rights that allow a user
to perform specific actions. See User Groups on page 84.
You must have DTX Control administrator or user administrator rights to add a user.
To add a user account:
1. Click the Users tab.
2. Click Add. The Add User Account Wizard will appear.
3. The Select Authentication Service window will open. This window lists the DTX Control internal service and all the
external authentication services that have been added, which may be used to authenticate users when they log in.
See Authentication Services on page 56.
Select an authentication service and then click Next.
• If you selected Internal, go to step 4.
• If you selected any other authentication service, go to step 5.
4. The Type in User Credentials window will open.
a. Type a username, password and confirm the password of the user you are adding.
Usernames may contain up to 256 non-case sensitive characters (if a RADIUS external authentication
service will be used, the limit is 253 characters). Usernames are case-preserving. For example, if an
account named JDoe is created, it will be saved as JDoe in the DTX Control server, but a user may log
in as JDoe, jdoe, JDOe and so on.
Passwords may contain 3-64 characters. Passwords will never expire unless User must change
password at next login is selected in the Unit Password window, or Passwords Expire information is
specified in the Authentication Service User Account Policies window. A DTX Control administrator may
specify a different minimum character length and change expiration criteria. See Authentication Services
on page 56.
b. To enable users to set their own passwords when they log in to the DTX Control software, click User must
change password at next login.
c. To designate the account as a service account, select the Service Account checkbox. A service account cannot
be used to log in to the DTX Control software. A service account can be used to impersonate another user over
the Web Services API or GUI Access API.
NOTE: A service account may only be created if you selected the DTX Control internal authentication service in step 3.
d. Click Next. Go to step 6.
5. The Specify User Name window will open.
If you selected RADIUS, TACACS+ or RSA SecurID in step 3:
a. Enable the Specify user on external authentication service radio button.
b. Type the username that is configured on the RADIUS, TACACS+ or RSA SecurID server.
c. Click Next.
If you selected any other type of external authentication service in step 3, you may either specify the username or
find the user on the external authentication service.
• To specify the user, enable the Specify user on external authentication service radio button and type the name of
the user. Then click Next.
