How Do I Customize the Login Advisory Message?
8.2 How Do I Customize the Login Advisory Message?
After logging into the Cisco MGM client, a login advisory message is shown. By default, the advisory
message reads:
NOTICE: This is a private computer system. Unauthorized access or use may lead to
prosecution.
You can customize the default advisory message as follows:
Step 1 Log into the Cisco MGM server as the root user.
Step 2 Use a text editor to edit or create the advisory.txt file in the /opt/CiscoMGMServer/cfg directory. The
new advisory message can contain up to 1,600 characters. The advisory.txt file does not exist by default.
Note The default directory /opt/CiscoMGMServer may have been changed during installation of the
Cisco MGM server.
Step 3 Save the changes. All subsequent users who log into the Cisco MGM client will see the new advisory
message.
Note You can also disable the advisory message altogether. See 8.3.4.13 Configuring Cisco MGM Security
Parameters, page 8-28.
8.3 How Do I Manage User Security?
This section describes user security and management. This includes procedures on how to add a new
user, modify a user’s properties, delete a user, and end an active user session. It also includes procedures
on how to add, modify, and delete custom profiles and how to perform NE user administration.
The following topics are covered:
• 8.3.1 Restricting User Access, page 8-2
• 8.3.2 Viewing the Audit Trail File, page 8-4
• 8.3.3 User Profiles, page 8-5
• 8.3.4 Performing User Administration, page 8-13
8.3.1 Restricting User Access
The Administration > Cisco MGM Users menu launched from the Domain Explorer window manages
user security. Cisco MGM administration allows restricted access logins to enable users to perform tasks
based on detailed access privileges.
For each action, a user is given privileges to read to read/write. For definitions of the access privileges,
see Table 8-1.
