Security Panel
Security settings for the user, as well as the allowed login roles, are specified in the Security panel. The options presented
depend upon the Authentication Type (LOCAL or SMB) that is selected.
LOCAL Authentication Settings
When the Authentication Type chosen is LOCAL, a screen similar to the following is displayed.
Authentication Type
Type of authentication between the web user and the WebUI. Changing this field also affects other fields on the
page. The web page will reload to reflect this change.
LOCAL - Uses the local authentication of the Application Server.
SMB - Uses server message block (SMB) authentication.
Set Password
Specify the admin password, new user password, and confirmation of new user password. This field contains the
password the user will use to log in. The password is hidden when entered; and characters entered will be dis-
played with asterisks (for security reasons) when typed.If only external authentication methods (e.g., SMB authenti-
cation) will be used for this user, the password field should be left empty
Notes:
• Users for which empty passwords have been stored in the local database must provide a valid SMB password to log
in. Empty passwords will normally not be accepted as valid passwords.
• To indicate that a user does not have a BluStar database based password, delete all characters in the field. DO NOT
enter one or more spaces, as one or more spaces will be interpreted as a valid password.
