6.2.2.1.7 Defining User Accounts Page
By default, two user accounts exist:
admin, with 'Read/Write' privileges
guest, with 'Read Only' privileges
By default, the password for admin is “admin”, and password for guest is blank. The names are
case insensitive.
If you logon with a user account with 'Read/Write' privileges (that is, as admin) you can use the
User Accounts screen to assign passwords and set security parameters for the default
accounts, and to add and delete accounts (other than admin) up to the maximum of six. Only a
user with 'Read/Write' privileges may alter data on this screen, and only one account may be
created with 'Read/Write' privileges.
Selection Criteria
User Name Selector - You can use this screen to reconfigure an existing account, or to
create a new one. Use this pulldown menu to select one of the existing accounts, or select
'Create' to add a new one, provided the maximum of five 'Read Only' accounts has not
been reached.
Configurable Data
User Name - Enter the name you want to give to the new account. (You can only enter
data in this field when you are creating a new account.) User names are up to eight
characters in length and are not case sensitive. Valid characters include all the
alphanumeric characters as well as the dash ('-') and underscore ('_') characters.
Password - Enter the optional new or changed password for the account. It will not display
as it is typed, only asterisks (*) will show. Passwords are up to eight alpha numeric
characters in length, and are case sensitive.
Confirm Password - Enter the password again, to confirm that you entered it correctly.
This field will not display, but will show asterisks (*).
Authentication Protocol - Specify the SNMPv3 Authentication Protocol setting for the
selected user account. The valid Authentication Protocols are None, MD5 or SHA. If you
select None, the user will be unable to access the SNMP data from an SNMP browser. If
you select MD5 or SHA, the user login password will be used as the SNMPv3
authentication password, and you must therefore specify a password, and it must be eight
characters.
Encryption Protocol - Specify the SNMPv3 Encryption Protocol setting for the selected
user account. The valid Encryption Protocols are None or DES. If you select the DES
Protocol you must enter a key in the Encryption Key field. If None is specified for the
Protocol, the Encryption Key is ignored.
Encryption Key - If you selected DES in the Encryption Protocol field enter the SNMPv3
Encryption Key here. Otherwise this field is ignored. Valid keys are 8 to 64 characters. The
Apply checkbox must be checked in order to change the Encryption Protocol and
Encryption Key.
Non-Configurable Data
Access Mode - Indicates the user's access mode. The admin account always has
'Read/Write' access, and all other accounts have 'Read Only' access.
SNMP v3 Access Mode - Indicates the SNMPv3 access privileges for the user account.
The admin account always has 'Read/Write' access, and all other accounts have 'Read
Only' access.
