NetLinx Security with a Terminal Connection

The password is case sensitive. The password must be entered with the exact combination of upper and lower case letters as was assigned to them by the security administrator. The password must be at least 4 characters long and no more than 20 characters. Any combination of letters, numbers, or other characters may be used.

After the password is entered, if the password is correct you will see a welcome banner as shown below:

Login: User1

Password: *****

Welcome to NetLinx v2.10.80 Copyright AMX Corp. 1999-2002

>

If the password is incorrect, the following will be displayed:

Login: User1

Password: *****

Login not authorized. Please try again.

After a delay, another login prompt will be displayed to allow the user to try again. If after 5 prompts, the login is not done correctly the following will be displayed and the connection closed:

Login not allowed. Goodbye!

If a user opens a connection but does not enter a user name or password (i.e. they just sit at a login prompt), the connection will be closed after 1 minute.

Logout

The logout command will log the user out of the current secure Telnet session. For a Terminal session, the user will be logged out and to regain access to Terminal commands again, the user will first have to login.

Help Security

The help security command will display the security menu as shown previously.

Setup Security

The security command displays a series of menus that allow the security administrator to create and edit users, create and edit groups, and setup directory associations for the Web Server. A user must be given rights to access this command. Any user that does not have rights to Security Configuration will see the following message when trying to access the setup security command:

>setup security

You are not authorized to access security commands

If a user is authorized, or if Security Configuration security is not enabled, the Main Security Menu will be displayed.
