6.4 How to Protect Access to the utnserver Control Center
(User Accounts)
By default, anyone who can find the UTN server on the network can access the utnserver Control Center. To pro-
tect the UTN from unwanted configuration changes, you can set up two user accounts:
• Administrator: Complete access to the utnserver Control Center. The user can see all pages and change set-
tings.
• Read-only user: Very restricted access to the utnserver Control Center. The user can only see the 'DASHBOARD'
page.
If you have set up user accounts, a login screen is displayed when the utnserver Control Center is started. You can
choose between two login screens:
• Neutral screen: Login screen in which user name and password are to be entered. (better protection)
• List of users: User names are displayed. Only the password has to be entered.
A user account allows for multiple logins, i.e. the account can be used by a single user or by a group of users. Up
to 16 users can be logged in at the same time.
Important:
The user accounts for utnserver Control Center access are also used for SNMP 
74. Consider this when setting up user accounts.
For stronger security, you can use a session timeout. If there is no activity within a defined timeout, the user will
automatically be logged out.
1. Start the utnserver Control Center Control Center.
2. Select SECURITY – Control Center.
3. Define the two user accounts. To do this, in the area User accounts enter a User name and Password respec-
tively.
You can show the typing if you want to make sure that there are no typing errors in
the password.
4. Tick Restrict Control Center access.
5. Under Login window shows, select the type of login screen: Neutral screen or List of users.
6. Tick the Session timeout option and enter in the box the time in minutes after which the an inactive user
should be automatically logged out.
7. To confirm, click Save.
 The settings will be saved.
