Changing the ZoneDirector Administrator
User Name and Password
You should change your ZoneDirector administrator login password on a monthly
basis, but the administrator user name should be changed only if necessary.
NOTE: If authentication with an external server is enabled and the Fallback to admin
name/password if failed check box is disabled, you will be unable to edit the user
name and password. To edit the user name and password:
1. Select the Fallback to admin name/password if failed check box to enable the
user name and password boxes.
2. Change the user name and password.
3. Clear the Fallback to admin name/password if failed check box.
4. Click Apply to save your changes.
To edit or replace the current name or password:
1 Go to Administer > Preferences.
2 When the Preferences page appears, you have the following options under
Administrator Name/Password:
• Authenticate using the admin name and password: The default option,
should be enabled if you are not using an external server for administrator
authentication.
• Authenticate with Auth server: Select an authentication server from the list,
if you have configured one on the Configure > AAA Servers page.
- Fallback to admin name/password if failed: Enable this check box to
ensure you will be able to log in when the AAA server is unreachable.
• Admin Name: Delete the text in this field and type the new administrator
account name (used solely to log into ZoneDirector via the web interface).
• Password/Confirm Password: Delete the text in both fields and type the
same text for a new password.
3 Click Apply to save your settings. The changes go into effect immediately.
