4.3 Managing Users and Security
4.3.1 Managing User Accounts
Users need to authenticate as the login to SecureSync. The system administrator is responsible
for maintaining a list of user accounts (user names, passwords etc.) via the MANAGEMENT >
OTHER: Authentication screen of the SecureSync WebUI (HTTP/HTTPS). Note that user
accounts CANNOT be created or edited via CLI commands using telnet or SSH.
To read more about how to login to the Web UI, see "Accessing the WebUI" on page52.
4.3.1.1 Types of Accounts
"user" accounts:
User accounts are read-only accounts, i.e. they do not allow any editing rights and are restric
ted to reviewing status-related information. The Web UI will not show (or gray-out) any editing
functionality.
"admin" accounts:
Administrator accounts are intended to be used by system administrators. These accounts have
writing access. You can add additional admin accounts to the pre- installed administrator
account spadmin.
"factory" account:
The default factory account with the username spfactory is meant to provide access to Spec
tracom technical support personnel. You can delete this account, if you so prefer. Note, how
ever, that executing the Clean and Halt command (see "Cleaning the Configuration Files and
Halting the System" on page311) will recreate the Factory account.
4.3.1.2 Rules for Usernames
Length: Usernames can be between 3 and 32 characters long.
Accepted characters:
All letters, including the first, must be lower-case.
Numbers, underscores and dashes are accepted.
Next to punctuation symbols, the following special characters are NOT accepted:
! @ # $ % ^ & * ( )
