Server Properties—Change Password

To add more security to your NPort Server Lite, it is highly recommended that you set a

password as soon as you complete the installation. If you did not set the password while

running Add Server Wizard, or you would like to change the current password, you may

use the toolbar Properties function to do so.

You may also use this function to “Auto-Save”, i.e., to have Windows NT/95/98 remember

your password for you. By auto saving the password, you will not be asked to enter the

password when modifying server properties from this computer. (Keep in mind that other

people using your computer will also have ready access to the NPort Server Lite Manager

functions.)

1. Click on the server whose

password you would like to

change.

2. Click on the toolbar

Properties icon.

3. Select the Password page.

4. Enter the current password

and new password as

indicated.

5. Check the Auto Save

Password on this computer box if you want the Windows NT/95/98 operating system

to remember your password.

6. Click OK to save the changes.

Granting Access to Hosts

It is possible to assign access permission to hosts to allow them access to the ports on a

shared NPort Server Lite. For security reasons, the access control list can only be defined

by the server’s administrator. If you have not been granted access, you will see a screen

with the message ‘Non-authorized’ for the ports.

After running Add Server Wizard and typing in your password showing that you are the

administrator, you are granted access to the server you have added. You may go to server

properties to check that. However, if you did not enter the correct password, you can still

map the ports to your NT/95/98, but you will not have access to the ports. You will need to

ask your administrator to add your IP address to the access control list of the server to grant

you access. If you are not sure of the IP address of the host you want to add, run ‘ipconfig’

from the host’s NT/95/98 MS-DOS prompt.
