CHAPTER
Configuring Restricted Access
4
By default, anyone with physical access to a local user station connected to the rack console switch
can access all functions of the OSCAR interface and access all attached servers. You can use the
OSCAR interface to configure restricted access as described in this section.
After restricted access is configured, only the Admin user can configure user accounts, user
authorizations for server access, and screen saver time-outs and perform other switch configuration
tasks. Regular users can set and change their own passwords, and they can access only the servers
for which they are specifically authorized.
Configuring restricted access requires the following tasks to be completed as described in this
section:
Enabling of up to four user accounts, configuration of optional user passwords, and configura-
tion of authorizations for server access.
Configuring of a password for the administrator account named Admin.
NOTE: When you configure user accounts and set the Admin password, the OSCAR interface assumes you are
logged in as Admin from that point until you log out.
Enabling user accounts and accessing the User Setup window
1.
Access the Security window. If needed, see "Accessing the Security window" on page 37.
2.
Click the Enable User Account checkbox.
3.
Click OK. The Setup window opens.
4.
Click the User button on the Setup screen to bring up the User Setup window.
NOTE: Clicking the User button on the Setup screen automatically logs out any currently logged in user. and
prevents other users from logging in until your changes are complete.
