Field/Item Description
Name The name of the new user account. This name will be requested when
logging in to the SMU. The rules for user names are:
• For Global administrators only, if the user will access the SMU
through the CLI, the user name:
â—‹ Must start with a letter or an underscore, and may consist of up
to 31 alphanumeric characters and the underscore (_) and the
hyphen (-).
â—‹ Cannot match certain special purpose names: root, manager,
postgres, nobody, or nfsnobody.
â—‹ Cannot match certain special purpose user ID numbers: for
example, those with uid less than 502.
• For all types of administrators, if the user will access the SMU only
through NAS Manager, the user name may consist of alphanumeric
characters and/or the underscore (_), the hyphen (-), the equal sign
(=), parentheses "(" or ")", brackets ( [ or ] ), the pound sign (#)
and the exclamation point (!).
• Supervisor is a reserved system user name. It is not available as a
new user name.
Note: If you are using RADIUS realms, and the global
administrator will access the SMU using both NAS Manager and
the CLI, use the underscore (_) to combine the user name and
the realm: for example, johnsmith_realm2. If the global
administrator will access the SMU using only NAS Manager, you
can use the at sign (@) to combine the user name and the
realm: for example, johnsmith@realm3.
User Type The user type is either local or RADIUS.
• Local users are those whose passwords are locally defined and
authenticated in the SMU.
