DESCRIPTION

User Name

Type the user name for this user account. You may use 1-31 alphanumeric

 

characters, underscores(_), or dashes (-), but the first character cannot be a

 

number. This value is case-sensitive. User names have to be different than user

 

group names, and some words are reserved. See Section 35.2.1.1 on page 596.

 

 

User Type

Select what type of user this is. Choices are:

 

• Admin - this user can look at and change the configuration of the ZyWALL

 

• Limited-Admin- this user can look at the configuration of the ZyWALL but not

 

to change it

 

• User - this user has access to the ZyWALL’s services but cannot look at the

 

configuration

 

• Guest - this user has access to the ZyWALL’s services but cannot look at the

 

configuration

 

• Ext-User- this user account is maintained in a remote server, such as RADIUS

 

or LDAP. See Ext-User Accounts on page 594 for more information about this

 

type.

 

 

Password

This field is not available if you select the Ext-Useruser type.

 

Enter the password of this user account. It can consist of 4 - 30 alphanumeric

 

characters.

 

 

Retype

This field is not available if you select the Ext-Useruser type. Enter the password

 

again.

 

 

Description

Enter the description of each user, if any. You can use up to 60 printable ASCII

 

characters. Default descriptions are provided.

 

 

Lease Time

Enter the number of minutes this user has to renew the current session before the

 

user is logged out. You can specify 1 to 1440 minutes. You can enter 0 to make the

 

number of minutes unlimited. Admin users renew the session every time the main

 

screen refreshes in the web configurator. Access users can renew the session by

 

clicking the Renew button on their screen. If you allow access users to renew time

 

automatically (see Section 35.4 on page 599), the users can select this check box

 

on their screen as well. In this case, the session is automatically renewed before

 

the lease time expires.
