Creating and Managing User Accounts
Note This window can be accessed only by users with administrator-level privileges.
Step 3 In the Username field, enter the user account name.
Usernames are case sensitive and cannot contain characters other than letters, numbers, period, hyphen,
and underscore.
Step 4 Complete the following steps to allow the user to access the WAE Device Manager GUI:
a. Check the WAE Device Manager User check box.
b. From the Device Manager Access drop-down list, choose one of the following options for Device
Manager GUI access for this account:
– Read Only—Limits this user to read only access to the Device Manager GUI.
– Read Write—Allows this user to have read and write access to the Device Manager GUI.
Step 5 Complete the following steps to create a local CLI user account:
a. Check the Local User check box. See Table 1-3 on page 1-4 for information about the benefits of
creating a local CLI user. A local user is created on all WAE devices.
Note Do not create a local user that has a username identical to a username defined in an external
authentication server that is authorizing access to the WAAS device.
b. In the Password field, enter a password for the local user account, and reenter the same password in
the Confirm Password field. Passwords are case-sensitive, must be 1 to 31 characters in length, and
cannot contain the characters
‘ “ | (apostrophe, double quote, or pipe) or any control characters.
c. From the CLI Privilege Level drop-down list, select one of the following options for the local user
account:
– 0 (normal user)—Limits the CLI commands this user can use to only user-level EXEC
commands. This is the default value.
– 15 (super user)—Allows this user to use privileged EXEC-level CLI commands, similar to the
functions that a Central Manager GUI user with the admin role can perform.
Note The WAAS CLI EXEC mode is used for setting, viewing, and testing system operations. It is
divided into two access levels: user and privileged. A local user who has “normal” privileges can
only access the user-level EXEC CLI mode. A local user who has “superuser” privileges can
access the privileged EXEC mode as well as all other modes (for example, configuration mode
and interface mode) to perform any administrative task. For more information about the
user-level and privileged EXEC modes and CLI commands, see the Cisco Wide Area Application
Services Command Reference.
Step 6 (Optional) In the User Information fields, enter the following information about the user in the
appropriate fields: first name, last name, phone number, e-mail address, job title, and department.
Step 7 (Optional) In the Comments field. enter any additional information about this account.
Step 8 Click Submit.
A Changes Submitted message appears at the bottom of the window.
