Table 50 Add a Local User fields

Field

Description

 

 

User Name

Specifies a unique user logon name. There are no

 

restrictions on the Nortel SNAS 4050 regarding acceptable

 

user names. However, if you want the user name in the

 

local database to mirror the Windows login name, observe

 

Windows username conventions (for example, keep the

 

length to no more than 32 characters).

 

When the client attempts to log on to the Nortel

 

SNAS 4050 domain and local database authentication is

 

applied, the client is prompted for the user name and

 

password you define for the database.

 

 

User Password

Specifies the password that applies to the new user. To

 

only use the local database for authorization after an

 

external authentication server has authenticated the user,

 

enter an asterisk (*).

 

 

Confirm

Confirms the user password.

 

 

Change User Group

Specifies the group to which the new user belongs. The

 

group must exist in the Nortel SNAS 4050 domain. The

 

group name is used for authorization.
