6.2 Creating and Managing Users
6.2.1 Adding a User ID
The ADDUSER command creates user IDs and assigns initial privileges. The following
screen will be displayed when the command is used:
sys admin>>ADDUSER
Number of available user records: 200
Number of users defined: 0
Enter user id | USER ID >
Press <ENTER> after typing the user ID. The user name is not case-sensitive. The next
prompt asks for a password for the user ID. When the user logs in for the first time he
will be asked for this password. This password is case-sensitive and is pre-expired.
The user must change the password before accessing any of the ConsoleServer 3200
device ports. The user password may be up to 10 alphanumeric characters long, and
may not contain the “*” character. The ConsoleServer 3200 will echo only stars when
the sys admin enters the password and confirmation
Enter case sensitive password | PASSWORD > ****
Re-enter case sensitive password | PASSWORD > ****
0-17 | MAX CONCURRENT LOGINS: 1>17
This parameter limits the number of simultaneous logins a user may have. The sys
admin may select between 0 and 17 concurrent logins. A user with 0 logins will have
connect and listen permissions defined, but cannot login to access anything until a
number of logins greater than 0 is defined.
Allowed devices example: 1-5,10 | DEVICES 0 > 1,5,7,8,30
Allowed listen devices example: 1-5,10 | DEVICES 0 > 1-32
The sys admin is now prompted to define the device ports that the user will be allowed
to access for direct connections and listening connections. If more than one port is to
be allowed, then the individual ports must be separated by a comma. A range of ports
may be specified using the dash (“-“).
Allowed devices determines which devices a user may select for direct access.
Allowed listen devices determines which devices a user may use listen access.
“Listening” is defined as being able to read from an existing device port connection
without write ability. This feature is useful for sharing information among multiple users
or for monitoring a user’s session with an attached device.
