the user.

This first example shows a defined user called ‘test’. The user has a defined

password ‘password’. They are also granted web access to the box.

root@VA_router:~# cat /etc/config/management_users

config user

option enabled '1'

option username 'test'

option password 'password'

option webuser 'yes' option linuxuser 'yes'

This second example shows a user called ‘srptest’. The user has a defined

password ‘srptest’.

config user

option enabled '1'

option username 'srptest'

option password 'srptest'

option srpuser '1'

option chapuser '0'

option webuser '0'

option smsuser '0'

option linuxuser 'no'

When the new user is defined, you must reboot the system for the changes to

take effect.

After the reboot, the password option is replaced by a hash of the password. The

hash password is now defined by the ‘hashpassword’ option.

For srpuser password will be defined by the ‘srphash’ option.

Note: when a new user is created on the system and given web access, they will

no longer be able to login to the router web interface with the default root user

details. The user must use the new login details.
