HP (Hewlett-Packard) 700wl Series Switch User Manual


 
Using the 700wl Series System
Note: It is strongly recommended that you change the built-in administrator logon name and password
as soon as possible. You should also set the date and time for each 700wl Series system component
(Access Control Server, Integrated Access Manager, and Access Controllers).
Changing the Built-In Administrator Username and Password
To change the built-in administrator name and password on a 700wl Series system unit do the following:
Step 1. Click the Network button in the Navigation bar. The System Components page appears, with a
System Components list that shows the components that make up your 700wl Series system.
Step 2. Click a system component name listed under the Component Name heading to bring up the
Edit page.
Step 3. In the Admin Username field, type a new administrator user name.
Type a new password in the
Admin Password field, and type it again in the Confirm Admin
Password
field.
Step 4. Click Save.
You can make other changes on this Edit page, such as giving the unit a descriptive name, changing the
shared secret, and so on. See Configuring an Access Control Server on page 6-3, Configuring an Integrated
Access Manager on page 6-7, or Configuring Access Controllers on page 6-10 in Chapter 6 for more
information on changing these settings.
Note:
When a 700wl Series system unit is reset to its factory default settings, the built-in administrator
logon name and password are also reset to their defaults.
The built-in administrator for an Access Control Server or Integrated Access Manager has the
equivalent of Super Administrator capabilities—this administrator can configure all network and
Rights settings for the Access Control Server or Integrated Access Manager as well as perform
configuration through the Administrative Console for any Access Controllers connected to the Access
Control Server or Integrated Access Manager. The built-in administrator for an Access Controller can
only log on to that Access Controller through the Command Line Interface (CLI).
You can create additional 700wl Series system administrators on the Access Control Server or Integrated
Access Manager, with different administration roles—Super Administrators, Network Administrators,
and Policy Administrators. See
Setting Up Administrators on page 6-42 for information about creating
additional administrators.
