11: User Authentication

 

 

 

 

Enable for Dial-back

Select to grant a local user dial-back access. Users with dial-back access can

 

 

dial into the SLC unit and enter their login and password. Once the SLC 8000

 

 

advanced console manager authenticates them, the modem hangs up and

 

 

dials them back. Disabled by default.

 

 

 

 

Dial-back Number

The phone number the modem dials back on depends on this setting for the

 

 

device port. The user is either dialed back on a fixed number (specified on the

 

 

Device Port - Settings page), or on a number that is associated with the user’s

 

 

login (specified here).

 

 

 

 

Escape Sequence

A single character or a two-character sequence that causes the SLC unit to

 

 

leave direct (interactive) mode. (To leave listen mode, press any key.)

 

 

A suggested value is Esc+A (escape key, then uppercase "A" performed

 

 

quickly but not simultaneously). You would specify this value as \x1bA, which

 

 

is hexadecimal (\x) character 27 (1B) followed by an A.

 

 

This setting allows the user to terminate the connect direct command on

 

 

the command line interface when the endpoint of the command is deviceport,

 

 

tcp, or udp.

 

 

 

 

Break Sequence

A series of 1-10 characters users can enter on the command line interface to

 

 

send a break signal to the external device. A suggested value is Esc+B

 

 

(escape key, then uppercase “B” performed quickly but not simultaneously).

 

 

You would specify this value as \x1bB, which is hexadecimal (\x) character 27

 

 

(1B) followed by a B.

 

 

 

 

Custom Menu

If custom menus have been created, you can assign a default custom menu to

 

 

the user. The custom menu will display at login.

 

 

Note: In the Local Users table, if the menu assigned to a local user no longer

 

 

exists, it is marked with an asterisk (*).

 

 

 

 

Display Menu at Login

If custom menus have been created, select to enable the menu to display

 

 

when the user logs into the CLI.

 

 

 

 

Password /

When a user logs into the SLC 8000 advanced console manager, the SLC unit

 

Retype Password

prompts for a password (up to 64 characters). The sysadmin establishes that

 

 

password here.

 

 

 

 

Password Expires

If not selected, allows the user to keep a password indefinitely. If selected the

 

 

user keeps the password for a set period. (See the section, Local and Remote

 

 

User Settings (on page 178) for information on specifying the length of time

 

 

before the password expires.)

 

 

 

 

Allow Password Change

Select to allow the user to change password.

 

 

 

 

Change Password on

Indicate whether the user must change the password at the next login.
