Table 13: User Accounts Fields (Cont.)
Description
Enter the name to give to the account. User names are up to eight characters in length
and are not case sensitive. Valid characters include all the alphanumeric characters
as well as the dash ('-') and underscore ('_') characters.User name default is not valid.
Note: You can change the Read/Write user name from "admin" to something else, but
when you click Submit, you must re-authenticate with the new username.
Enter the optional new or changed password for the account. It will not display as it is
typed, and only asterisks (*) will show on the screen. Passwords are up to eight alpha
numeric characters in length and are case sensitive.
Enter the password again, to confirm that you entered it correctly. This field will not
display, but will show asterisks (*)
Indicates the user's access mode. The admin account always has Read/Write access,
and all other accounts have Read Only access.
Indicates whether the user is currently locked out. A user is locked out after a
configurable number of failed login attempts. See
page 78 for instructions on configuring this number.
Indicates the date when this user's current password will expire. This is determined by
the date the password was created and the number of days specified in the aging
Password Aging setting on the Password Management page.
Indicates the SNMPv3 access privileges for the user account. The admin account
always has 'Read/Write' access, and all other accounts have 'Read Only' access.
Specify the SNMPv3 Authentication Protocol setting for the selected user account.
The valid Authentication Protocols are None, MD5 or SHA. If you select None, the user
will be unable to access the SNMP data from an SNMP browser. If you select MD5 or
SHA, the user login password will be used as the SNMPv3 authentication password,
and you must therefore specify a password, and it must be eight characters long.
Specify the SNMPv3 Encryption Protocol setting for the selected user account. The
valid Encryption Protocols are None or DES. If you select the DES Protocol you must
enter a key in the Encryption Key field. If None is specified for the Protocol, the
Encryption Key is ignored.
If you selected DES in the Encryption Protocol field enter the SNMPv3 Encryption Key
here. Otherwise this field is ignored. Valid keys are 0 to 15 characters long. The Apply
check box must be selected in order to change the Encryption Protocol and Encryption
Key.
