Using the CMC Web Interface 175
Adding and Managing Users
From the Users and User Configuration pages in the Web interface, you can
view information about CMC users, add a new user, and change settings for
an existing user.
You can configure up to 16 local users. If additional users are required and
your company uses Microsoft Active Directory or generic Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) services, you can configure it to provide
access to CMC. Active Directory configuration allows you to add and control
CMC user privileges to your existing users in the Active Directory software, in
addition to the 16 local users. For more information, see "Using the CMC
Directory Service" on page 269. For more information about LDAP, see the
"Using CMC with the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol Services"
section.
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, 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 ships with 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.
To add and configure CMC users:
NOTE: You must have Configure Users privilege to perform the following steps.
1 Log in to the Web interface.
2 Click the User Authentication tab. The Local Users page appears, listing
each user’s user ID
, user name, CMC privilege, and l ogin state, including
those of the root user. User IDs available for configuration have no user
information displayed.
