User accounts can be created and managed on the appliance. Users who access the Administrator Console and User Console using these accounts are referred to as locally authenticated.
As an alternative to local authentication, you can set up external authentication through an external LDAP server. See Using an LDAP server for user authentication.
Types of locally authenticated user accounts include:
• |
System-level user accounts. Accounts that enable users to log in to the System Administration Console to manage appliance settings, such as the appliance host name and network settings. System-level user accounts include the default admin account for the appliance. These accounts also enable access to organization-level components (admiui) and the User Console. See Managing System-level user accounts. |
• |
Organization user accounts. Accounts that enable users to log in to the Administrator Console Organization level (Administrator Console ) to manage organization-specific components. These components may include Inventory, Assets, Distribution, Scripting, Security, Service Desk, and User Console depending on the user's role. See Managing organization user accounts. |
Locale settings determine the language used for text in the interfaces. You can select locale settings for the Command Line Console, Administrator Console, and User Console.
See Configuring locale settings.
System-level user accounts enable users to log in to the System Administration Console to manage appliance settings, such as the appliance host name and network settings. System-level user accounts authenticate users locally on the appliance.
To use an LDAP server for user authentication, see Using an LDAP server for user authentication.
NOTE: You cannot change the username of the default admin account, and you cannot delete the account. However, you can change the password of the admin account. See Add or edit System-level user accounts.
NOTE: In addition, if the Organization component is enabled on your appliance, or if you want to link multiple K-Series appliances, use caution when changing the password of the admin account. The admin account passwords on all linked appliances and organizations must be the same if you want to switch among them using the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the Administrator Console. The drop-down list shows only those appliances and organizations whose admin account passwords are the same.
