HP VCX Software manual User Administration, Password For the ’admin’ Account, Old password

Chapter 7. Administration

User Administration

On the User Administration page, you change the administration password for the admin account on your Telecommuting Module and create other administrator user accounts. The characters in the password are displayed as little stars. Remember that the password is sent unencrypted over the network if you use HTTP instead of HTTPS.

Settings made on this page (the admin password and other accounts) will not be included when saving the configuration to file. This means that you cannot move accounts defined on one Telecommuting Module onto another one.

You can authenticate administrators using a RADIUS server instead of a local password (se- lect this on the Access Control page under Basic Configuration). When RADIUS is used, you must also enter a RADIUS server on the RADIUS page under Basic Configuration.

More information about how to configure the RADIUS server to authenticate administrators can be found in the RADIUS section.

Password For the ’admin’ Account

The admin user is predefined. That user can make changes, load configurations, apply con- figurations and log on the Telecommuting Module via the serial cable. You can’t remove this user or change its privileges, only change its password.

Old password

Enter the old password for the admin user.
