About login accounts

The VCS has two types of login account for normal operation:
Administrator accounts: used to configure the VCS.
n
User accounts: used by individuals in an enterprise to configure their FindMe profile. They can also
n
be used to enable basic device provisioning for a range of device types, including Movi users, when
the Starter Pack option key is installed.

Account authentication

Administrator and user accounts must be authenticated before access is allowed to the VCS.
The VCS can authenticate accounts either locally or against a remote directory service (the VCS
currently supports only Windows Active Directory) using LDAP. The remote option allows
administration groups to be set up in the directory service for all VCSs in an enterprise, removing the
need to have separate accounts on each VCS.
If a remote source is used for either administrator or user account authentication you also need to
configure the VCS with:
appropriate LDAP server connection settings (see
n
administrator groups and/or user groups that match the corresponding group names already set up
n
in the remote directory service to manage administrator and user access to this VCS (see
Configuring administrator groups
The VCS can also be configured to use
required if the VCS was deployed in a highly-secure environment.

Administrator accounts

Administrator accounts are used to configure the VCS. The VCS has a default admin administrator
account with full read-write access and can be used to log in to the VCS using the web interface or the
CLI.
You can add additional administrator accounts which can only be used to log in through the web
interface.
The default admin account is managed locally and is always accessible, even if remote administrator
account authentication is selected. All passwords and usernames are case sensitive.
