Administrator tasks
To authenticate a user using an authentication server, specify settings for
connecting to the server.
Note: When an administrator changes a support person's user account, he or
she must notify the user. Otherwise, the user will not be able to log in.
Procedure
1. Log in to Device Manager - Storage Navigator as a built-in user.
Use maintenance as the user name, and raid-maintenance as the
password. The built-in user has all permissions.
2. Click Settings > User Management > Change Password to change
the password of the built-in user account.
3. Create a user group. Some user groups, such as built-in groups, are
available by default.
4. Create a user.
5. If necessary, change the environment parameter.
6. Save the user account information and environment parameter file.
7. Notify the user of the new user name and the password.
User tasks
Procedure
1. Use the user name and password provided by the administrator to log in
to Device Manager - Storage Navigator.
2. Click Settings > User Management > Change Password to change
the password to your own password.
Managing user accounts
You will need to use the local administrator account created during the initial
setup step, or create administrator accounts using the procedures described
in this chapter as needed to access the storage system temporarily when the
management software is not available.
It is prudent to create more than one user account in case the system
administrator is not available when the management software becomes
unavailable, or when someone else needs to access the system. This is also
helpful if multiple users need to access Device Manager - Storage Navigator
to use storage features that are not available in the management software.
