Command line
1. Select the device in Remote Manager and click Actions > Open Console, or log into the
Connect IT 4 local command line as a user with full Admin access rights.
Depending on your device configuration, you may be presented with an Access selection
menu. Type admin to access the Admin CLI.
2. At the command line, type config to enter configuration mode:
> config
(config)>
3. Add a user. For example, to create a user named new_user:
(config)> add auth user new_user
(config auth user new_user)>
The user is enabled by default. To disable the user, type:
(config auth user new_user)> enable false
(config auth user new_user)>
4. (Optional) Create a username alias for the user.
Because the name to create the user cannot contain special characters such as hyphens (-) or
periods (.), an alias allows the user to log in using a name that contains special characters. For
security purposes, if two users have the same alias, the alias will be disabled.
(config auth user new_user> username username_alias
(config auth user new_user)>
5. Set the user's password. The password must be at least eight characters long and must
contain at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number, and one special
character.
(config auth user new_user> password pwd
(config auth user new_user)>
