12: User Authentication
SLC™ Console Manager User Guide 171
3. Assign rights to users. Each user is a member of a group that has a predefined user rights
associated with it. You can assign or remove additional rights to the individual user.
Enable for Dial-back Select to grant a local user dial-back access. Users with dial-back access can
dial into the SLC console manager and enter their login and password. Once
the SLC unit authenticates them, the modem hangs up and dials them back.
Disabled by default.
Dial-back Number The phone number the modem dials back on depends on this setting for the
device port. The user is either dialed back on a fixed number (specified on the
Device Port - Settings page), or on a number that is associated with the user’s
login (specified here).
Escape Sequence
A single character or a two-character sequence that causes the
SLC console
manager
to leave direct (interactive) mode. (To leave listen mode, press any
key.)
A suggested value is Esc+A (escape key, then uppercase "A" performed
quickly but not simultaneously). You would specify this value as \x1bA, which
is hexadecimal (\x) character 27 (1B) followed by an A.
This setting allows the user to terminate the
connect direct command on
the command line interface when the endpoint of the command is deviceport,
tcp, or udp.
Break Sequence A series of 1-10 characters users can enter on the command line interface to
send a break signal to the external device. A suggested value is Esc+B
(escape key, then uppercase “B” performed quickly but not simultaneously).
You would specify this value as \x1bB, which is hexadecimal (\x) character 27
(1B) followed by a B.
Custom Menu If custom menus have been created, you can assign a default custom menu to
the user. The custom menu will display at login.
Note: In the Local Users table, if the menu assigned to a local user no longer
exists, it is marked with an asterisk (*).
Display Menu at Login If custom menus have been created, select to enable the menu to display
when the user logs into the CLI.
Password /
Retype Password
When a user logs into the SLC console manager, the unit prompts for a
password (up to 64 characters). The sysadmin establishes that password
here.
Password Expires If not selected, allows the user to keep a password indefinitely. If selected the
user keeps the password for a set period. (See the section, Local and Remote
User Settings (on page 168) for information on specifying the length of time
before the password expires.)
Allow Password Change Select to allow the user to change password.
