Ensuring A Super-User Login Exists; Checking A Pre-4.0 Release - Avaya G700 Installing And Upgrading

Ensuring a super-user login exists

A super-user login must be administered prior to upgrading the S8300 Media Server. The
project manager, remote services, or the customer should check to verify that one exists. If a
super-user login must be added, you must log in as dadmin or a higher level of login. For
pre-4.0 releases, you cannot add the login by logging in as craft.

much time elapses without activity. In this case, you might not be able to log in
again with the craft login. This problem can occur after you install the new media
server and restore translations and security files, but before you install the new
authentication file. In such a case, you also cannot login with other higher-level
services logins such as INADS. However, you can relogin with the customer's
super-user login, if it exists. Then you can install the new authentication file and
complete the upgrade.
Therefore, it is critical that you ensure that a super-user login exists before you
perform the upgrade. In addition, you should retrieve the super-user login and
password from the customer prior to performing the upgrade.

1. Log in with telnet or ssh.
