OnBoard User and Group Configuration Options
On the OnBoard, two user accounts types are needed to give a user access to
the OnBoard and to authorize the user for access to device management
functions on connected devices:
• A normal UNIX user account
• An OnBoard user account
Both types of user accounts are created transparently when an administrator
adds a new user using the Web Manager. When an administrator adds a new
user through the cycli utility, the administrator needs to take separate steps
to add the user as a regular and OnBoard user. For example, see Step 2 in “To
Register and Generate OTP Passwords for Users” on page 69.
• Register each user yourself and give the OTP
username and OTP secret pass phrase to each
user.
AND
• “To Register and Generate OTP
Passwords for Users” on page 69
• Generate the needed OTP passwords on
behalf of the each user and give them to each
user.
OR
• Make sure users are equipped with an OTP
generator that is not on the network to
generate their own OTP passwords when
challenged at login time.
• See “Obtaining and Using One-time
Passwords for Dial-ins” in the
AlterPath OnBoard User’s Guide.
