OSD for All User Types 445
Configure>Serial Ports Screens [OSD]
Port permissions
Choices are: “Port access list” or “Grant/Deny access.”
By default, no regular users are authorized to access serial
ports. To authorize regular users to access serial ports, the
OnSite administrator must use this screen or the Web Manager.
Selecting “Port access list” brings up the following Select
user/group and Allow user/group screens. You can either
grant access or deny access to a user or group. Granting access
to any user or group to the port has the effect of denying access
to all other users, including “root” and “admin.”
Selecting “Grant/Deny” access brings up the Select access
type screen. Use this screen to give all users the same level of
access.
Authentication
Authentication method to apply to the selected serial port or
ports. Default = Local. See “OnSite Authentication Options” on
page 7 for an overview of authentication on the OnSite.
Authentication options for serial ports are described in Table 1-
3, “Supported Authentication Types,” on page 9. A server must
be configured for any authentication method assigned in this
screen except Local. See Table on page 470 for links to
procedures for setting up authentication servers for each type of
method.
