HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.3.x administrator guide (5697-0244, November 2009)

66 Managing user accounts
About the default accounts
Fabric OS provides the following predefined accounts in the switch-local user database. Change the
password for all defaults during the initial installation and configuration, see Table 13.
Defining local user accounts
In addition to the default administrative and user accounts, Fabric OS supports up to 256 user-defined
accounts in each logical switch (domain). These accounts expand your ability to track account access and
audit administrative activities.
The following procedures can be performed on local user accounts. Administrators can act on other
accounts only if that account has an Admin Domain list that is a subset of the administrator.
NOTE: When operating in secure mode, you must perform these operations on the primary FCS switch.
The userConfig command with Admin Domain-related options is not valid in secure mode.
How to display account information
1. Connect to the switch and log in.
2. Enter one of the show commands:
• userConfig --show -a to show all account information for a logical switch
• userConfig --show -b to show all backup account information for a logical switch
• userConfig --show username to show account information for the specified account
• userConfig --showad -a admindomain_ID to show all accounts permitted to select the
specified admindomain_ID
