User's Manual
Using the CMC Web Interface 139
Users can be logged in through Web interface, Telnet serial, SSH, and iKVM
sessions. A maximum of 22 active sessions (Web interface, Telnet serial, SSH,
and iKVM, in any combination) can be divided among users.
NOTE: For added security, Dell strongly recommends that you change the default
password of the root (User 1) account. The root account is the default
administrative account that ships with the CMC. To change the default password for
the root account, click User ID 1 to open the User Configuration page. Help for that
page is available through the Help link at the top right corner of the page.
