Table 53 Local Users — Configuration 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 (*).
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.
