Configuring a User: Command Line Examples

This section consists of a set of examples that tell you how to use the set user command to configure various user attributes.

Configuring a User for a Password

In this example, the set user command configures a new user. The newpass command then initiates a dialog with the PortServer TS 8/16 to assign a password to the new user.

set user name=jsmith newpass name=jsmith

Configuring a User for a Menu

In this example, the user is configured to use a menu, which is identified by a menu-table index number. If the menu has not been configured, the PortServer TS 8/16 will generate a warning message, but the user will be configured to use the menu, which can then be created later.

set user name=jsmith defaultaccess=menu menu=4

Limiting a User’s Access to the PortServer TS 8/16

In this example, the user is configured for access to the PortServer TS 8/16 from 9:00 in the morning until 5:00 at night.

set user name=jsmith accesstime=wk9:00-17:00

Configuring a User for Autoconnect

In this example, the user is configured to do the following

•Automatically connect to the host identified on the autohost field

•Connect using Telnet

set user name=jsmith autoconnect=on defaultaccess=autoconnect autohost=191.143.2.17 autoservice=telnet

Displaying an Entry in the User Table

This example assumes that the user named jsmith has already been created, in which case attributes for jsmith are displayed. If the user did not already exist, this command would create a new user named jsmith that uses all default attributes.

set user name=jsmith

Removing a User from the User Table

In this example, a user is removed from the user table.

remove user name=martymertz
