Guidelines and Limitations
To use the ACE XML interface, you must have the Admin user role.The ACE creates the following
default user accounts at startup: admin, dm, and www. The admin user is the global administrator and
cannot be deleted. The dm user is for accessing the Device Manager GUI and cannot be deleted (it is an
internal user that is required by the Device Manager GUI and is hidden on the CLI). The ACE uses the
www user account for the XML interface and it cannot be deleted.

user password if you have not already done so. Otherwise, after you upgrade the ACE software, the www
user will be disabled and you will not be able to use XML to remotely configure an ACE until you change
the default www user password. See Chapter 2, Configuring Virtualization, in the Cisco 4700 Series
Application Control Engine Appliance Virtualization Configuration Guide for details on changing a user
account password. In this case, the user would be www.
