CCESS TO THE EBCACHE
Whenever you manage the Webcache using the Web interface or
Command Line Interface, you need to log in with the admin username
and password, as described in
page 88.
CAUTION: To prevent unauthorized access and configuration of the
Webcache, 3Com recommends that you set a password for the admin
username as soon as possible.
To set the password using the Web interface, you need to login as the
admin user, click Device on the toolbar and select Security > Set Password
in the Navigation Tree to access the Password Configuration screen. Then
follow the steps below.
You are prompted to set a password for the admin user account during
the Getting Started wizard, which automatically runs when you first
access the Webcache's Web interface.
You must enter the following information in either the Getting Started
wizard or the Password Configuration screen:
