Chapter 16 Configuring Users 69
About Configuring Users
Although it is not required, the device server is often configured to
accommodate the requirements of particular users. Typical configurable
user attributes include the following:
• Whether the user is required to supply a password
• Autoconnection attributes, such as the system to which the user
should be automatically connected at login
• The interface the device presents the user, such as a menu or
command line
• Whether the user has access to outbound ports
Note: For information on configuring PPP users, see "Configuring PPP" on page 27.
Configuration Methods
You can configure users in the following ways:
• With the web interface.
• With the set user command. See the set user command in the Digi
One/PortServer TS Command Reference.
Common User Features
This section discusses common user-related features. For a complete list,
