Setting the Local Password

You can set up users to have local authentication by setting the Local Password, and defining the user name and password.

A local password is used if the authentication setting for the BladeManager is Local. The local password is also used as a backup when server-based authentication is being used. In this case, if the authentication server is unavailable due to network problems then the system can use the local password. It is therefore advisable that you set a local password for some users even when server-based authentication is being used.

>> Setting Up Local Authentication

To set up local authentication for a user, follow the following steps:

1.From the User List form, select the user for whom you will set a password.

The system will bring up the definition form for that user.

2.If a password has not been set up, from the User Definition form, select set password.

System brings up the Password dialog box.

3.From the password dialog box, enter the password twice, and then click Submit.

4.From the User Definition form, click on the Local Password check box.

5.From the User Definition form, click Save.

>>Setting a User’s Security Profile

The Security tabbed form of the User’s Profile allows you to assign/delete a security profile to/from a user.
