Configuring Local User Attributes - HP 4800G Series Configuration Manual

Configuring Local User Attributes

For local authentication, you need to create local users and configure user attributes on the device as
needed.
A local user represents a set of user attributes configured on a device, and such a user set is uniquely
identified by the username. For a user requesting network service to pass local authentication, you
must add an entry as required in the local user database of the device.
Each local user belongs to a local user group and bears all attributes of the group, such as the
password control attributes and authorization attributes. For details about local user group, refer to
Configuring User Group
When configuring local users and local user groups, pay attention to the effective ranges and priority
relationship of user group attributes and user attributes:
Authorization attributes
You can configure an authorization attribute in user group view or local user view, making the attribute
effective on all local users of the group or only the local user. An authorization attribute configured in
local user view takes precedence over the same attribute configured in user group view.
Follow these steps to configure the attributes for a local user:
To do...
Enter system view
Set the password display mode for
all local users
Add a local user and enter local
user view
Configure a password for the local
user
