3 Access control

The value in the Status column changes from Not Persisted to Persisted, which means the values are persisted to the provider.xml configuration file.

Setting up default SMI-A user mapping

You can set up a default mapping that applies to all SMI-A users that are not explicitly mapped in the User Mapping section.

If a default mapping is not provided, then all unmapped SMI-A users inherit the same access as the account used to connect to the switch.

Only one default mapping scheme is allowed for each fabric.

1.Launch the Brocade SMI Agent Configuration Tool.

2.Click Default User Mapping in the menu tree (see Figure 8).

3.Click the Stop Server to stop the SMI-A, if it is running. This button is unavailable if the server is already stopped.

4.Click Add.

5.Fill out the Default User Mapping Configuration dialog box and click OK.

The Proxy IP field is optional. If you do not specify the IP address of the proxy switch, then all unmapped SMI-A users can access the fabric with the same RBAC role as the given switch user name.

The SMIA SwitchUser field is mandatory.

The Default User Password field is mandatory if Radius Server Authentication is enabled; otherwise, it is optional. If you enter a password, it must be valid, even if it is optional.
