Local vs. Remote Authentication
User names and groups may be administered on the Spider device to allow varying levels of access and control to different classes of users. To log in to the Spider device, a user must be authenticated by means of a password. This authentication may take place locally, where the user name and associated password are stored in the Spider device’s memory. The Spider device may query a centralized database using RADIUS or LDAP to determine if a given user may log in. In both of these cases, the user name must be defined on the Spider device where it has its permissions assigned.
Local User Management
A newly assigned user has permissions inherited from an assigned group. All Local Users not associated with a group will inherit default settings.
Modifying Passwords
To change current user password, perform the following steps.
1. Click User Accounts > Change Password. The Change Password page displays.
