Logging In
When you use Web Tools, you must log in before you can modify any switch information. This section
describes upfront login, which determines when you log in, and role-based access control, which is
determined by how you log in.
Prior to displaying the login window, Web Tools displays a security banner (if one is configured for
your switch), which you must accept before logging in. The security banner displays every time you log
in, regardless of whether upfront login is enabled.
Upfront Login
Depending on how your switch is configured, you are either prompted to log in once, when you launch
Web Tools (upfront login), or prompted to log in whenever you launch a switch administration module,
such as the Switch Admin or Zoning module.
By default, upfront login is disabled. Use the configure telnet command to enable or disable upfront
login. Refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual for information.
