Dell M1000E manual Adding and Managing CMC Users

Page 32

NOTE: The default CMC user name is root, and the password is calvin. The root account is the default administrative account that ships with the CMC. For added security, you should change the default password of the root account during initial setup.

NOTE: The CMC does not support extended ASCII characters, such as ß, å, é, ü, or other characters used primarily in non-English languages.

NOTE: You cannot log in to the Web-based interface with different user names in multiple browser windows on a single workstation.

You can log in as either a CMC user or as Directory Service user in Microsoft Active Directory or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol Services (LDAP).

3In the Username field, type your user name:

CMC user name: <user name>

Active Directory user name: <domain>\<user name>,

<domain>/<user name> or <user>@<domain>.

LDAP user name: <user name>

NOTE: This field is case sensitive.

4In the Password field, type your CMC user password or Active Directory user password.

NOTE: This field is case-sensitive.

Adding and Managing CMC Users

From the Users and User Configuration pages in the Web-based interface, you can view information about CMC users, add a new user, and change settings for an existing user.

NOTE: For added security, it is highly recommended that you change the default password of the root (User 1) account. The root account is the default administrative account that ships with the CMC.

To change the default password for the root account, click User ID 1 to open the User Configuration page. Help for that page is available through the Help link at the top right corner of the page.

NOTE: You must have User Configuration Administrator privileges to perform the following steps.
