About user models and user permissions

In Digi devices that have a one-user model:

By default, there is no login prompt.

The default name for user 1 is root. This user is also known as the administrative user.

User 1 has permissions that enables it to do all commands. Permissions cannot be altered.

Password authentication

By default, there is no password authentication for Digi Cellular Family devices. That means if when accessing the Digi Cellular Family device by opening the web interface or issuing a telnet command, no login prompt is displayed.

Enable password authentication

If desired, enable password authentication for the Cellular Family device.

In the web interface:

1On the Main menu, click Security.

2On the Security Configuration page, check the Enable password authentication check box.

3Enter the new password in the New Password and Confirm Password edit boxes.

4Click Apply.

5A prompt is displayed to immediately log back in to the web interface using the new values.

From the command line:

To enable the login prompt for a device that uses the one-user model, issue a newpass command with a password length of one or more characters.
