User accounts and passwords

Default accounts and passwords

The Magnia SG20 is delivered with three predefined accounts:
❖
applianceadmin: This account is the primary administrative account for the Magnia
SG20. It has access to the entire Web Administration UI, as well as complete access
to all files on the system. It cannot be deleted using the Web Administration.
❖
telnetuser: This account logs in to the system using Telnet. While not encouraged for
the typical end user, for developers it represents an important method of access to
the system.
❖
root: This is the standard linux root administrative account with complete system
privileges.
All accounts are assigned a default password of "toshiba" when delivered from the
factory. Changing this password is not recommended, because doing so can make it
difficult or impossible for the end user to log in and administer the system.
NOTE: Do not change the default passwords of the system.

Initial account creation

NOTE: Do not create a new user on your Magnia SG20 using the Setup CD or the
Administrative Web interface. Use the existing applianceadmin account to access
the Web Administration or to access Network Neighborhood. Use the existing Telnet
and root accounts to access the system using Telnet. Modifications to the system
internals can be accomplished using these accounts.
To assure that the default password for critical privileged accounts such as
applianceadmin are changed, the Magnia SG20 uses a specific mechanism to update
the password when the server is initialized. When the user creates the first user account,
the password to all three predefined accounts are changed to the password of this first
account.
An example scenario is for the user to open a new Magnia SG20, turn it on, and connect
a PC to the built-in network. The user then runs the Setup CD to configure the client PC.
During the Setup CD setup process, the Setup CD software creates a new level 3
account on the server (for example, "jsmith"). The user also selects a password at this
time (for example "maxmoney1"). This process changes the passwords for the
predefined accounts to "maxmoney1".
