Chapter 16 Configuring Users
Although it is not required, the device server is often configured to
accommodate the requirements of particular users. Typical configurable
user attributes include the following:
•
Whether the user is required to supply a password
•
Autoconnection attributes, such as the system to which the user
should be automatically connected at login
•
The interface the device presents the user, such as a menu or
command line
•
Whether the user has access to outbound ports
Note:
For information on configuring PPP users, see "Configuring PPP" on page 27.

•
With the web interface.

With the set user command. See the set user command in the Digi
