Managing BTS Users and Commands Using EMS

Revised: February 18, 2010, OL-16000-07

Introduction

This chapter describes operator interfaces to the BTS and how to manage access and users.

The Element Management System (EMS) database holds up to 256 logins and up to 50 active user sessions.Using the command line interface (CLI) you can locally connect to the EMS in an interactive session.The EMS system administrator can:

•Add a new user.

•Assign a user’s privilege level—10 is for the system administrator. BTS has predefined user accounts:

Username		Permission
btsadmin	btsadmin	like MAINT shell user—MAINT shell is an enhanced CLI
		interface and does not log off an idle user)
secadmin	secadmin	like MAINT shell user
btsuser	btsuser	lower access permissions than btsadmin and secadmin, good for
		generic provisioning access

•Reset a user’s password.

•Enter a description for each security class and privilege level.

•Manage security log reporting.

Logging into the EMS Using CLI

SSH is a way to access the BTS CLI or maintenance (MAINT) modes. SSH provides encrypted communication between a remote machine and the EMS/CA for executing CLI or MAINT commands. The SSH server runs on EMSs and CAs. To connect the client and server sides run the secure shell daemon (SSHD). With SSH, new users must enter a new password and reenter that password during the first login. In future logins they are prompted once for a password only.
