Version 6.6 61 Mediant 2000
User's Manual 4. Web-Based Management
By default, the device is pre-configured with the following two Web user accounts:
Pre-configured Web User Accounts
User Access Level Username
(Case-Sensitive)
Password
(Case-Sensitive)
Security Administrator
Admin Admin
Monitor
User User
After you log in to the Web interface, the username is displayed on the toolbar.
If the Web session is idle (i.e., no actions are performed) for more than five minutes, the
Web session expires and you are once again requested to login with your username and
password. Users can be banned for a period of time upon a user-defined number of
unsuccessful login attempts. Login information (such as how many login attempts were
made and the last successful login time) can be presented to the user.
 To prevent user access after a specific number of failed logins:
1. From the 'Deny Access On Fail Count' drop-down list, select the number of failed
logins after which the user is prevented access to the device for a user-defined time
(see next step).
2. In the 'Deny Authentication Timer' field, enter the interval (in seconds) that the user
needs to wait before a new login attempt from the same IP address can be done after
reaching the number of failed login attempts (defined in the previous step).
Notes:
• For security, it's recommended that you change the default username and
password.
• The Security Administrator user can change all attributes of all Web user
accounts. Web users with access levels other than Security Administrator can
change only their password and username.
• To restore the two Web user accounts to default settings (usernames and
passwords), set the ini file parameter ResetWebPassword to 1.
• To log in to the Web interface with a different Web user, click the Log off button
and then login with with a different username and password.
• You can set the entire Web interface to read-only (regardless of Web user access
levels), by using the ini file parameter DisableWebConfig (see 'Web and Telnet
Parameters' on page 513).
• You can define additional Web user accounts using a RADIUS server (see
'Configuring RADIUS Settings' on page 70).
4.3.1 Basic User Accounts Configuration
This section describes basic Web user account configuration. This is relevant only if the
two default, pre-configured Web user accounts - Security Administrator ("Admin") and
Monitor ("User") - are sufficient for your management scheme.
For the Security Administrator, you can change only the username and password; not its
access level. For the Monitor user, you can change username and password as well as
access level (Administrator, Monitor, or No Access).
