Setting Admin & User Account Logins - AMX Octaire Instruction Manual

Setting Admin & User Account Logins
For security purposes, we recommend that the Network Administrator set the account profiles as part of
the initial setup.
APWeb uses HTTP basic access authentication with multi-tier access (i.e., the Network Administrator
and the user accounts each have their own user name and password). Resetting the account profiles (see
page 81) requires physical access to the system. If further security is required, we recommend locking
the enclosure(s) in a secure location. User names and passwords are sent in clear text over the network,
thus leaving them vulnerable to network sniffers. We also recommend deploying APWeb in a secure
LAN environment. To allow remote Internet access, you will need to configure your LAN firewall.
The APWeb connection on the CPU is configured at the factory with a default login for the Network
Administrator and another one for the user. APWeb's Account Profile / Site Security page is accessed by
clicking the Authentication button on the APWeb Administration page.
Note: System security can also be turned on and off at the Account Profile / Site Security page
(page 80).

Default User Name & Password
User names and passwords are case sensitive with a maximum length of 24 characters.
The following steps assume this is the first time the Account Profile has been changed. If not, use the
current user name and password instead of the defaults.
To set the User and Admin Account Logins:
1.
From any page in the site, click the Administration link.
2.
Under Account Profile / Site Security, click Authentication.
The Account Profile / Site Security page opens.

Password fields.
