Chapter 12 Administration

Administration Access Rights Administrators

Administrator

The VPN 3002 has three predefined administrators:

•admin = System administrator with access to, and rights to change, all areas. This is the only administrator enabled by default; in other words, this is the only administrator who can log in to, and use, the VPN 3002 Hardware Client Manager as supplied by Cisco.

•config = Configuration administrator with access rights to Quick Configuration and monitoring management options only.

•monitor = Monitor administrator with rights to monitoring management options only.

Note The VPN 3002 saves Administrator parameter settings from this screen in nonvolatile memory, not in the active configuration (CONFIG) file. Thus, these settings are retained even if the system loses power. These settings are also retained even if you reboot the system with the factory configuration file.

Password

Enter or edit the unique password for this administrator. Maximum is 31 characters. The field displays only asterisks.

Note The default password that Cisco supplies is the same as the username. We strongly recommend that you change this password.

Verify

Re-enter the password to verify it. The field displays only asterisks.

Enabled

Check the box to enable, or clear the box to disable, an administrator. Only enabled administrators can log in to, and use, the VPN 3002 Hardware Client Manager. You must enable at least one administrator, and you can enable all administrators. By default, only admin is enabled.

Apply/Cancel

To save this screen settings in nonvolatile memory, click Apply. The settings immediately affect new sessions. The Manager returns to the Administration Access Rights screen.

To discard your settings or changes, click Cancel. The Manager returns to the Administration Access Rights screen.
