Authentication On/Off Command
By default, a new 3-Series Control System comes with authentication turned off.
Any user can use the control system’s console as an administrator. When
authentication is turned on the first time, the user is asked to create an administrator
account. If SSL is not on, the control system turns it on with a self-signed certificate
automatically. Authentication and SSL can only be turned on using USB transport.
Once authentication is turned on, only users with administrator right can turn
authentication off. If an administrator turned authentication off, to turn it back on,
only users with administrator right can do that. If all administrator accounts are
deleted from the control system, authentication is turned off automatically.
Turning authentication on or off does not affect user or group accounts on the control
system.

SUDO Command
All console commands are assigned with certain access level. Only users with same
or higher access level than a command can execute that command. To allow a
command be executed at elevated security level, a user can use the SUDO command
to change identity to another one with the adequate access level. Once the command
is executed the security level is changed back.
