6.2Creating and Managing Users 6.2.1 Adding a User ID

The ADDUSER command creates user IDs and assigns initial privileges. The following screen will be displayed when the command is used:

sys admin>>ADDUSER

Number of available user records: 200

Number of users defined: 0 Enter user id USER ID >

Press <ENTER> after typing the user ID. The user name is not case-sensitive. The next prompt asks for a password for the user ID. When the user logs in for the first time he will be asked for this password. This password is case-sensitive and is pre-expired. The user must change the password before accessing any of the ConsoleServer 3200 device ports. The user password may be up to 10 alphanumeric characters long, and may not contain the “*” character. The ConsoleServer 3200 will echo only stars when the sys admin enters the password and confirmation

Enter case sensitive password PASSWORD > ****

Re-enter case sensitive password PASSWORD > ****

0-17 MAX CONCURRENT LOGINS: 1>17

This parameter limits the number of simultaneous logins a user may have. The sys admin may select between 0 and 17 concurrent logins. A user with 0 logins will have connect and listen permissions defined, but cannot login to access anything until a number of logins greater than 0 is defined.

Allowed devices example: 1-5,10 DEVICES 0 > 1,5,7,8,30

Allowed listen devices example: 1-5,10 DEVICES 0 > 1-32

The sys admin is now prompted to define the device ports that the user will be allowed to access for direct connections and listening connections. If more than one port is to be allowed, then the individual ports must be separated by a comma. A range of ports may be specified using the dash (“-“).

Allowed devices determines which devices a user may select for direct access. Allowed listen devices determines which devices a user may use listen access. “Listening” is defined as being able to read from an existing device port connection without write ability. This feature is useful for sharing information among multiple users or for monitoring a user’s session with an attached device.
