Managing Access Server User Accounts

Managing Access Server User AccountsMinimal Setup for Local User Accounts

A limited amount of storage is available for defining user account records within the access server volatile and nonvolatile memory.

Note

Theoretically, all of NVRAM could be allocated for storage of user account data. However, it is important to bear in mind that the total storage space available for user account information will be affected by the quotidian operations of the access server and the total amount of stored data in NVRAM. As a result, the total available storage space for user accounts will fluctuate.

Example: Setting the User Name

The following example establishes a user account named J_SMITH:

Local> SET USERACCOU J_SMITH

Example: Changing the User Password

The following example changes the password for the user account J_SMITH to the character string “SECRETSTUFF”. Quotes denote the password string in the command line.

Local> CHANGE USERACCOU J_SMITH PASSWORD "SECRETSTUFF"

Optional Setup for Local User Accounts

Example: Changing User Account Parameters

The following example shows how to change the user account parameters for the user J_SMITH to FRAMED access, and set his permissions to PRIVILEGED:

Local> CHANGE USERACCOU J_SMITH ACCESS FRAMED
