• Password—Type the user password. The password must be a minimum of six and a maximum of
20 alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) and special (+, #, %) characters, where at least two characters are
nonalphabetic and at least one character is a special character. For TL1 compatibility, the password
must be 6 to 10 characters. The password must not contain the user name.
• Confirm Password—Type the password again to confirm it.
• Security Level—Choose a security level for the user: RETRIEVE, MAINTENANCE,
PROVISIONING, or SUPERUSER. Refer to the “Security and Timing” chapter in the
Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Manual for information about the capabilities provided with each level.
Note Each security level has a different idle time. The idle time is the length of time that CTC can
remain idle before it locks up and the password must be reentered. The defaults are: Retrieve
user = unlimited, Maintenance user = 60 minutes, Provisioning user = 30 minutes, and Superuser
= 15 minutes. To change the idle times, refer to the “NTP-A205 Modify Users and Change
Security” procedure on page 10-6.
Step 5 Under “Select applicable nodes,” deselect any nodes where you do not want to add the user (all network
nodes are selected by default).
Step 6 Click OK.
Step 7 In the User Creation Results dialog box, verify that the user was added to all the nodes chosen in Step 5.
If not, click OK and repeat Steps 2 through 6. If the user was added to all nodes, click OK and continue
with the next step.
Step 8 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
