Users Guide

● You log in to CMC with Configure Users privilege.
● Default password warning feature is enabled.
● Default user name and password for any currently enabled account are root and calvin respectively.
The same warning message is displayed if you log in using Active Directory or LDAP. Active Directory and LDAP accounts are
not considered when determining if any (local) account has root and calvin as the credentials. A warning message is also
displayed when you log in to CMC using SSH, Telnet, remote RACADM, or the Web interface. For Web interface, SSH, and
Telnet, a single warning message is displayed for each session. For remote RACADM, the warning message is displayed for each
command.
To change the credentials, you must have Configure Users privilege.
NOTE: A CMC log message is generated if the Do not show this warning again option is selected on the CMC Login
page.
