Example:

set logins range=1-2 login=off passwd=off

Procedure for Changing a User’s Access Requirements

To configure a user so that he or she does not have to specify a password when accessing an inbound port, supply a set user command that specifies the following:

set user name=name password=off

where name is a name to identify the user

Example:

set user name=user1 password=off

Controlling Access to Outbound Ports

This section describes methods for controlling access to outbound serial ports. An outbound port is one defined on the dev field of the set ports command for one of the following device types:

prn (used to define printer connections)

mout (used to define outbound modem connections

mio (used to define bi-directional modem connections)

host (used to define host connections)

ia

Default Access

The default for outbound ports is unlimited access.

Restricting Access to Outbound Ports

Use the set auth command to restrict access to outbound ports. See the description of the set auth command in the Digi One/PortServer TS Command Reference for more information.

CHAP Authentication for PPP Users

CHAP authentication can be used to restrict PPP user access to outbound ports. For more information on CHAP configuration, see the set user command in the device server Command Reference.

Controlling Access to the Command Line

This section describes how to restrict access to the device server command line.

Autoconnection

The autoconnection feature allows you to configure a user to access the device server but then be automatically connected to a host on the LAN.

You can implement autoconnection in the following ways:

By port where all port users are automatically connected to the same host. The device server is completely transparent to them.
