11: User Authentication

 

2. Enter the following:

 

 

 

 

Enable NIS

Displays selected if you enabled this method on the Authentication Methods page.

 

 

If you want to set up this authentication method but not enable it immediately, clear

 

 

the checkbox.

 

 

Note: You can enable NIS here or on the first User Authentication page. If you

 

 

enable NIS here, it automatically displays at the end of the order of precedence on

 

 

the User Authentication page.

 

 

 

 

NIS Domain

The NIS domain of the SLC 8000 advanced console manager must be the same as

 

 

the NIS domain of the NIS server.

 

 

 

 

Broadcast for NIS

If selected, the SLC unit sends a broadcast datagram to find the NIS Server on the

 

Server

local network.

 

 

 

 

NIS Master Server

The IP address or host name of the master server.

 

 

 

 

NIS Slave

The IP addresses or host names of up to five slave servers.

 

Servers #1 -5

 

 

 

 

 

Custom Menu

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

 

 

users.

 

 

 

 

Escape Sequence

A single character or a two-character sequence that causes the SLC 8000

 

 

advanced console manager 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

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

 

Sequence

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.

 

 

 

 

Enable for Dial-back

Select to grant a user Dial-back (on page 153). Users with dial-back access can

 

 

dial into the SLC 8000 advanced console manager and enter their login and

 

 

password. Once the SLC unit 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, or on a number that is

 

 

associated with the user’s login (specified here).

 

 

 

 

Data Ports

The ports users are able to monitor and interact with using the connect direct

 

 

command. Enter the port numbers or the range of port numbers (for example, 1, 5,

 

 

8, 10-15). U1 and U2 denote the USB upper and lower ports on the front of the SLC

 

 

unit.

 

 

 

 

Listen Ports

The ports users are able to monitor using the connect listen command.

 

 

 

 

Clear Port Buffers

The ports whose port buffer users may clear using the set locallog clear command.
