User Accounts
The Intel
®
Module Server Control UI supports both administrator and user accounts. To
create a new account or modify an existing account click Settings then User Accounts in
the left navigation menu. An administrator account is enabled by default to allow the IT
administrator to access the Intel
®
Module Server Control UI for initial configuration. It is
recommended that the default administrator password is changed before adding the Intel
®
Modular Server System to the production network. The administrator password supports
a maximum of 10 characters. Supported characters are limited to letters, numbers and the
following special characters ! @ # $ ^ & * + - = _ . ?. User Account passwords do not
have these restrictions. For more information regarding default login accounts, see
Section , “Log in to the Intel

LDAP
The CMM supports two user authentication methods: Local and LDAP. Users configured
to use the Local method are authenticated using a password stored on the Modular Server
chassis. LDAP refers to the Local Directory Access Protocol. When the LDAP method is
used, users are authenticated with an LDAP server connected to the CMM's management
interface over a TCP/IP network. The LDAP Configuration screen includes the necessary
addresses and parameters to identify and communicate with an LDAP server on
your network.
To test the current configuration, click the “Test LDAP” button where you will be
prompted for a user name and password. The user must be a valid CMM user added
through the Users Settings page.
