Users
There are three standard local user account types supported on a PM PDU: admin, root and user.
Local accounts
The admin and root accounts are equivalent users but named differently to address users familiar
with either Avocent or Cyclades equipment. Regular users can be granted permissions by
administrators at any time. The PM PDU has three user account types:
• admin: Performs the initial network configuration. Th
e factory default password for admin is
avocent. The admin user is a member of the admin group and can configure the PM PDU as
well as user and group authorizations.
• root: Has the same permissions as the admin user. The facto
ry default password for root is
linux. In the PM PDU, the root user is a member of the admin group and shell-login-profile
groups. When a root user logs in via the CONSOLE port, SSH or telnet, the session is pre-
defined by the login profile to go directly to shell. The login profile can be customized so that
it does not go directly to shell.
NOTE: Change the default passwords for root and admin before you put the PM PDU into operation.
• Administrator-added regular users: Have limited access to the Web Manager features based on
the group(s) to which they are assigned. Users can change their own passwords.
To add new users:
1. Click Users - Local Accounts - User Names. The
User Names screen is displayed with a list of
all users.
