LABEL

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 34.2.1.1 on page 508.

 

 

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 Section 34.1.2 on page 504 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 34.4 on page 510), 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.

 

 

Reauthentication

Type the number of minutes this user can be logged into the ZyWALL in one

Time

session before the user has to log in again. You can specify 1 to 1440 minutes. You

 

can enter 0 to make the number of minutes unlimited. Unlike Lease Time, the user

 

has no opportunity to renew the session without logging out.

 

 

OK

Click OK to save your changes back to the ZyWALL.

 

 

Cancel

Click Cancel to exit this screen without saving your changes.
