Users Guide

For both Windows and Linux installations:
• OMPC Account
• Enter a unique User Name for the account.
• Enter a Password that is at least eight characters long and includes characters from at least three of the following categories:
uppercase, lowercase, numeric, and nonalphanumeric.
• Re-enter the password in the Verify Password text box to conrm.
For a Windows installation:
• Windows Local Account — Enter a unique User Name for the account.
NOTE: If Power Center is installed on a Windows 2012 Essential server and the server is congured as a Domain
controller, all user accounts on the server must be Windows Domain Accounts, and not Windows Local Accounts.
• Windows Domain Account
• Enter a unique User Name for the account.
• Enter a valid Windows Domain Name.
For a Linux installation:
• Linux Local Account — Enter a unique User Name for the account.
NOTE: While Linux Local Accounts can be changed from the Linux server, these changes are not mirrored in the
same local account that was added to Power Center, and Power Center authentication attempts on this account
fails. To keep the Linux Local Account in sync between Power Center and the Linux server when the local
account is changed from Linux, the original account must be deleted from Power Center and the changed
account must be created in Power Center as a new Linux Local Account.
• LDAP Account — Enter a unique User Name for the account.
NOTE
: A user description is useful when there are two users with the same user name. Two user accounts with the
same user name are only possible where the user types are dierent.
