The base privilege is assigned to all users systematically. This privilege allows reading the whole
configuration except filtering, VPN, logs and content filtering.
The modify privilege is assigned to users who have write privileges.
The user who has logged on as admin will obtain the admin privilege. This is the only privilege
that allows giving other users administration privileges or removing them.
“Administrator account” tab
This screen allows the definition of authentication data for the administrator account.
To find out which characters are allowed or prohibited in various fields, please refer to Appendix
A: Allowed names.
NOTE
The default password of the “admin” user (super administrator) must be changed the very
first time the product is used.
NOTE
To define an ASCII pre-shared key that is sufficiently secure, it is absolutely necessary to
follow the same rules for user passwords set out in the chapter Welcome, under the
section User awareness, sub-section User password management.
Password Defines the password for the admin account.
REMARK
Must not contain the character ''.
Confirm passphrase Confirms the password of the admin account which you have just entered in the
previous field.
Mandatory password
strength
This field indicates your password’s level of security: “Very Weak”, “Weak”, “Medium”,
“Good”or “Excellent”.
You are strongly advised to use uppercase letters and special characters.
NOTE
Stormshield Network uses asymmetrical encryption, meaning that it uses a key pair
consisting of a public key, used for encrypting data, and a private key, used for
decryption. The advantage of using this system is that it removes the problem of securely
transmitting the key and allows electronic signatures.
