Users Guide

NOTE:

• For added security, it is strongly recommended that you change the default password of the root account during initial

setup.

• When Certificate Validation is enabled, Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the system should be provided. If

certificate validation is enabled and IP address is provided for the Domain Controller, then the login is not successful.

CMC does not support extended ASCII characters, such as ß, å, é, ü, or other characters used primarily in non-English languages.

You cannot log in to the Web interface with different user names in multiple browser windows on a single workstation.

NOTE: Multi Domain Configuration for CMC:

• The schema must be extended in all the Sub Domains in the forest.

• The user should be added to each domain and the CMC Device should be created in each Domain.

• When configuring the extended schema for CMC, the domain being configured must be mentioned. For example, if the

root domain is fwad2.lab and user is cmcuser5@NodeA.GrandChildA.SubChildA.ChildA.fwad2.lab, then the domain

where the user is configured is NodeA.GrandChildA.SubChildA.ChildA.fwad2.lab. The user

cmcuser5@NodeA.GrandChildA.SubChildA.ChildA.fwad2.lab can be validated from CMC.
