AlterPath BladeManager Manual 4-61
Setting the Local Password
You can set up users to have local authentication by setting the Local
Password, and defining the user name and password.
A local password is used if the authentication setting for the BladeManager is
Local. The local password is also used as a backup when server-based
authentication is being used. In this case, if the authentication server is
unavailable due to network problems then the system can use the local
password. It is therefore advisable that you set a local password for some
users even when server-based authentication is being used.
>> Setting Up Local Authentication
To set up local authentication for a user, follow the following steps:
1. From the User List form, select the user for whom you will set a
password.

set password.

3. From the password dialog box, enter the password twice, and then click
Submit.
4. From the User Definition form, click on the Local Password check box.
