Modifying root user administrator account settings
For added security, it is strongly recommended that you change the default password of the root (User 1) account. The root account
is the default administrative account that is shipped with CMC.
To change the default password for the root account:
1. In the left pane, click Chassis Overview, and then click User Authentication.
2. On the Users page, in the User ID column, click 1.
NOTE: The user ID 1 is the root user account that is shipped by default with CMC. This cannot be changed.
3. On the User Conguration page, select the Change Password option.
4. Type the new password in the Password eld, and then type the same password in Conrm Password.
5. Click Apply. The password is changed for the 1 user ID.
Conguring local users
You can congure up to 16 local users in CMC with specic access privileges. Before you create a CMC local user, verify if any
current users exist. You can set user names, passwords, and roles with the privileges for these users. The user names and passwords
can be changed using any of the CMC–secured interfaces such as, web interface, RACADM, and WS-MAN.
Conguring local users using CMC web interface
NOTE: You must have Congure Users permission to create a CMC user.
To add and congure local CMC users:
1. In the left pane, click Chassis Overview, and then click User Authentication.
2. On the Local Users page, in the User ID column, click a user ID number. The User Conguration page is displayed.
NOTE: User ID 1 is the root user account that is shipped by default with a CMC. This cannot be changed.
3. Enable the user ID and specify the user name, password, and access privileges for the user. For more information about the
options, see the Online Help.
4. Click Apply. The user is created with appropriate privileges.
Congure local users using RACADM
NOTE: You must be logged in as a root user to execute RACADM commands on a remote Linux system.
You can congure up to 16 users in the CMC property database. Before you manually enable a CMC user, verify if any current users
exist.
If you are conguring a new CMC or if you have used the racadm racresetcfg command, the only current user account is default
root account. The
racresetcfg subcommand resets all conguration parameters to the default values. Any earlier changes are
lost.
