Changing the User Level User ID
To change the user ID for the User security level (the only security level
that allows the user ID to be changed), follow these steps:
1. On the Main menu, type 8 (Configure Login) to display the Password
Configuration menu.
2. Type 1 to change the user ID for the User security level.
Enter new User ID (up to 17 characters) >
3. Type the new User ID and press Enter. The IAD informs you that the
user ID has been updated.
4. Reset the IAD (page 15).
Including User ID and Passwords in Config Files
If you create master configuration files for distribution to multiple IADs, you
may include the userid and passwords directly in the configuration file to
reduce configuration tasks.
Using a text editor, update the config file by adding the following attributes
in the [user] category:
userid={string}
password={string}
netman-password={string}
support-password={string}
The password parameter is for user level access; netman-password is for
network administrator level access; and support-password is for
supervisor level access.
NOTE
When the user ID and passwords are stored in a
configuration file, the IAD saves the configuration file
immediately upon rebooting, without requiring the log on
process. The userid and passwords are stripped from the
configuration file before saving to prevent a security risk.
