Chapter 8 Users, Security, and Authentication 142
Configure User Access Control
Another method for controlling access to the serial ports on the Digi
Passport unit is the User Access Control configuration. User access control
can be set up either globally (using the All Ports option) or per port.
It is not necessary to have users added to the system to assign rights.
However, for the permissions or restrictions to be enforced, the username
must match exactly. The username is case sensitive, and the application
does not recognize misspellings.
To add users, select System administration > Users administration. For
details about adding users, see "Add a Compact-flash Card" on page 43.
Users do not need to be configured locally; they can be defined on a
remote authentication server.
Access lists are used to add rights to a single user or to multiple users at
the same time. In addition, multiple users can be grouped and assigned
one, some, or all these rights:
• Port access rights
• Port monitor rights
• Power management rights to an access list
• Break access rights
• Hot key rights to access port logs
See "Add an Access List and Add Users to It" on page 40 for the procedure
for adding access lists.
This scenario shows a configuration with a restricted user: Joe does not
have access to the Sun server, while Mike does.
