Black Box Value-Line and Advanced Console Servers, LES1332A Adding and removing user Groups

#config -s config.sdt.hosts.host5.users.user1=John

#config -s config.sdt.hosts.host5.users.total=1 (total number of users having access to host)

To give another user called “Peter” access to the same host:

#config -s config.sdt.hosts.host5.users.user2=Peter

#config -s config.sdt.hosts.host5.users.total=2 (total number of users having access to host)

To edit any of the user element values, use the same approach as when adding user elements, that is, use the “-s” parameter. If any of the config elements do not exist, they will automatically be created.

To delete the user called John, use the delete-node script:

# ./delete-node config.users.user2

The following command will synchronize the live system with the new configuration:

# config -r users

14.4Adding and removing user Groups

The console server is configured with a few default user groups (even though only two of these groups are visible in the Management Console GUI). To find out how many groups are already present:

# config -g config.groups.total

Assume this value is six. Make sure you number any new groups you create from seven and up.

To add a custom group to the configuration with Group name=Group7, Group description=MyGroup and Port access= 1,5 you’d issue the commands:

#config -s config.groups.group7.name=Group7

#config -s config.groups.group7.description=MyGroup

#config -s config.groups.total=7

#config -s config.groups.group7.port1=on

#config -s config.groups.group7.port5=on

Assume we have an RPC device connected to port 1 on the console manager, and the RPC is configured. To give this group access to RPC outlet number 3 on the RPC device, run the two commands below:

#config -s config.ports.port1.power.outlet3.groups.group1=Group7

#config -s config.ports.port1.power.outlet3.groups.total=1 (total number of groups that have access to this outlet)

If more groups are given access to this power outlet, then increment the 'config.ports.port1.power.outlet3.groups.total' element accordingly.

To give this group access to network host 5:

#config -s config.sdt.hosts.host5.groups.group1=Group7

#config -s config.sdt.hosts.host5.groups.total=1 (total number of groups having access to host)

To give another group called 'Group8' access to the same host:

#config -s config.sdt.hosts.host5.groups.group2=Group8

#config -s config.sdt.hosts.host5.groups.total=2 (total number of users having access to host)

To delete the group called Group7, use the following command:

#rmuser Group7
