Installation & Operation Manual 33. Configuring Security Settings
33.18.3 Administering the EMS User
The ems user is typically defined in a local CLI Users Database located on both the
SC boards, similar to the root user. This architecture ensures that the EMS server
may successfully connect to the Media Gateway even when the latter has no access
to the centralized authentication server.
The ems user should not be deleted and its password will never expire. The default
value of the ems user password on the Media Gateway matches the default value in
the EMS server (to simplify initial system configuration). Nevertheless, you should
change the password of the ems user prior to installing the Media Gateway in a
production environment.
33.18.3.1 Changing the Password of the EMS User
The password of the ems user on the Media Gateway should be changed periodically
for enhanced security.
To change the password of the EMS user:
1. Connect to the CLI interface on the Active SC board. For more information, see
Section ''Command Line Interface' on page 107.
2. Login as root user. For more information, see Section 'Logging in as a Root User'
on page 115.
3. At the prompt, type tools user and press Enter. The CLI USERS
MANAGEMENT menu appears.
