Authentication is based upon matching the user’s data to pre-configured username and password information, and then assigning the rights assigned to that user. The maximum length of a username or password is 20 characters. The minimum length of a username or password is four characters. Characters such as # (pound) & (ampersand) and ’ " (single and double quotes) are invalid and should not be used in usernames, group names, or passwords.

There is no limit to the number of concurrent logins allowed for a single user. This feature facilitates the creation of a single user (which is really an ICSP device such as a touch panel) that is provided to a number of ICSP devices using the same login to obtain access to the Master.

As an example, if you had 50 devices connected to a Master, you would not have to create 50 individual user accounts-one for each device. Instead, you only need to create one to which all 50 devices use for access.

By default, the NetLinx Master creates the following accounts, access rights, directory associations, and security options:

Default Security Configuration (case-sensitive)
Account 1		Account 2	Group 1
Username: administrator		Username: NetLinx	Group: administrator
Password: password		Password: password	Rights: All
Group: administrator		Group: none	Directory Association: /*
Rights: All		Rights: FTP Access
Directory Association: /*		Directory Association: none
Security Options:	FTP Security - Enabled
	Admin Change Password Security - Enabled
	All other options - Disabled

By default, Master Security (and all subordinate options) are disabled. If the user/group is given FTP access rights by the administrator, all directories can become accessible (read/write/modify).

The administrator user account cannot be deleted or modified with the exception of its password. Only a user with both Configuration access and administrator rights can alter the administrator’s password.

The NetLinx user account was created to be compatible with previous NetLinx Master firmware versions. This account is initially created by default and can later be deleted or modified.

The administrator group account cannot be deleted or modified.
