Important! The database server is embedded in the 8950 AAA server and starts
automatically. Therefore, it is important to remember that in order to manage users, the
8950 AAA server must be running.
The purpose of the Database Table Tool dialog is to allow the database administrator to log
in to the database. Use the administrator credentials to login for the first time. You will be
able to add a password and add additional database users after you connect.
Creating and Managing User ProfilesCreating and managing User Profiles
A database can be used to hold user profiles. This section discusses use of the built-in
8950 AAA database for creating and managing user profiles for network users.
Important! The Database Table Tool provides access to all tables in the b uilt-in 8950
AAA database. Initially only the User, Accounting and Log views are available.
However, if additional views are added, they will also be available in this tool.
If you are only going to manage user profiles it is recommended that you use the User
Profiles panel which has support for this function only. Other than being limited to
editing user profiles, the User Profiles panel functions is almost the same as the
Dat ab as e Tab le Too l. For your reference, both the User Profiles tool and the Database
Table tool are explained in the following sections.

1. Click the Database button and select the User Profiles Tool... option. The User
