User administration
1. Login to the Admin panel as admin. See Connect to the Admin panel.

a. clear the viewer password field; or
b. select Use global settings from the access control drop down.
4. Click Apply.
Overcome lost passwords
If you have lost the password for the operator or viewer account, you can log in to the Admin panel and reset
the password using the procedure described in Set or change user passwords.
If you have lost the admin password and you have remote support enabled on the system, you can contact
Epiphan support to request a remote password change. See Support. If remote support is disabled, you will
need to return the system toEpiphan for password recovery. Contact Epiphan support to discuss this option.
Configure LDAP
You can use the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) for authentication into the system. Specify user
roles by using group DNs for users who log in as the administrator, operator or as a viewer.
The system has only one admin user and one operator: LDAP users log in as either the admin or
operator, they do not have their own private profiles.
When enabled, LDAP authentication is an alternative to the regular system usernames and
passwords. You may still login as admin, operator or viewer using the passwords for those
accounts. Furthermore, any LDAPusers with the name admin, operator or viewer are ignored.The
local accounts are used instead.
For security reasons, you should configure passwords for the local accounts. See Configure
LDAP.
These instructions assume you have a pre-configured LDAP server. The server must support anonymous
binding or have a special bind account with search access privileges. (Note that Active Directory does not
support anonymous binding.)
LDAP referrals, restrictions and failovers are not supported.
