Users Accounts and User Groups
Access to ports can be optionally restricted, based on authorizations that an administrator can assign to custom
user groups. Groups can also be authorized to manage power while connected to devices. The console server has
two default users (admin and root) and four pre-defined user groups: admin, appliance-admin, shell-login-profile
and user.
A user account must be defined for each user on the console server or on an authentication server. The admin
and root users have accounts by default, and either administrator can add and configure other user accounts. Each
local user account is assigned to one or more of the user groups.
CAUTION: Change the default passwords for root and admin before you put the console server into operation.
Local accounts
The admin and root are equivalent users but named differently to address users familiar with either Avocent
equipment or the Cyclades families of console servers. Regular users can be granted permissions by
administrators at any time. The console server has two local user accounts by factory default.
• admin: Performs the initial network configuration. The factory default password for admin is avocent. The
admin user is a member of the admin group and can configure the console server and ports as well as user
and group authorizations.
• root: Has the same permissions as the admin user. The factory default password for root is linux. The root
user is a member of the admin and shell-login-profile groups. When a root user logs in via the CONSOLE
port, SSH or telnet, the session is pre-defined by the login profile to go directly to shell. The login profile
can be customized so that it does not go directly to shell.
To add new users:
1. Click Users - Local Accounts - User Names. The User Names screen is displayed with a list of all users.
2. Click Add. The Local User Information screen is displayed.
3. Enter the new username and enter a password, then confirm the password.
4. Select or deselect User must change password at the next login checkbox.
5. To add the user to an available user group, select the user group name in the box on the left and click Add
(user is the default group). You can remove a user group from the box at right by selecting it and clicking
Remove.
6. Enter the desired parameters for Password Expiration.
• Min Days: Enter the minimum number of days allowed between password changes. Password changes
attempted sooner will be rejected. If not specified, -1 is the default which disables the restriction.
