Virtual Connect users and roles 67
Local Users screen
The first time this screen appears, the Administrator account, which has all administrative user role
permissions, might be the only user listed. The Administrator account cannot be deleted or have domain user
role permissions removed. However, the Administrator password can be changed, and the network, server,
and storage user role permissions can be removed. The default Administrator password is identified on the
Default Network Settings label on the primary VC module.
To reset the Administrator password to the factory default, see the information on resetting the administrator
password and DNS settings in the HP Virtual Connect for c-Class BladeSystem Setup and Installation Guide
on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/vc/manuals). Resetting the Administrator password using the
system maintenance switch does not delete the VC domain, if configured. The password and DNS name of
the module is reset to match the information included on the Default Network Settings label on the module.
The following tasks can be performed on this screen:
• To create a new local user account, click Add. The Add Local User screen appears.
• To edit attributes of a defined local account, click the Edit link in the user row.
• To delete a user account, select the checkbox next to the user name, and then click Delete.
TIP: You can also highlight a user, right-click, and then select Add, Delete, or Edit from the
pull-down menu.
• To enable strong passwords, select the Require Strong Passwords checkbox. Strong passwords are
required when the domain is in FIPS mode ("Virtual Connect FIPS mode of operation" on page 314).
Use the up and down arrows to select a password length between 3 and 40 characters. When the
domain is in FIPS mode, the password length must be at least 8 characters. The default password length
for a newly created domain is 8 characters. With strong passwords enabled, passwords must also
contain at least one character from three of the following four categories:
o Upper-case character
o Lower-case character
