Security Help
Overview:
The management system has a user-based security mechanism that enables defining different privilages for different users.
For each user (called manager) a password and a list of IP addresses are defined. The manager will be able to log-in only from these addresses with the defined password.
Existing Managers Table:
The existing managers table lists all of the defined managers.
The first item is the default manager that comes "built-in" with the system and cannot be removed (but can be disabled).
To configure or remove a manager, click the appropriate Edit/Delete links.
To add a user, click the Add link.
Configuring a User:
Enter a user name, password (optional), and access privilages (read only or read/write).
To activate or disactivate the manager set the status to enabled or disabled, respectively.
Configure the subnet and netmask of the IP ranges from which this manager will be able to log-in. For example, to enable access from all the hosts in the following address range: 192.112.34.0 - 192.112.34.255, set the subnet to 192.112.34.0 and the netmask to 255.255.255.0. Note that this flexible mechanism allows for defining a single IP address or the entire IP range.
For each address range you can determine whether a password will be required by setting the Password field to enabled or disabled.
To add or remove an address range, click the appropriate Add or Remove links.
