5.2.1 User Accounts
Up to five simultaneous users can be handled on gateway authentication via the
Embedded Web Server. To prevent unauthorized access to the Embedded Web Server,
two user accounts are available: primary and secondary. Each account is composed of
three attributes: username, password, and access level. The username and password
enable access to the Embedded Web Server itself; the access level determines the extent
of the access (i.e., availability of screens and read / write privileges). Note that additional
accounts can be defined using a RADIUS server (refer to the SIP Series Reference
Manual).
The following table lists the available access levels and their privileges.
Table 5-1: Available Access Levels and their Privileges
Access Level
Numeric
Representation*
Privileges
Security Administrator 200 Read / write privileges for all screens
Administrator 100
Read-only privilege for security-related screens
and read / write privileges for the others
User Monitor 50
No access to security-related and file-loading
screens and read-only access to the others
No Access 0 No access to any screen
* The numeric representation of the access level is used only to define accounts in a RADIUS server
(the access level ranges from 1 to 255).
Each Web screen features two (hard-coded) minimum access levels, read and write. The
read access level determines whether the screen can be viewed. The write access level
determines whether the information in the screen can be modified. When a user tries to
access a specific Web screen, the user's access level is compared with the access levels
of the screen:
îš„ If the access level of the user is less than the screen's read access level, the screen
cannot be viewed.
îš„ If the access level of the user is equal to or greater than the screen's read access level
but less than the write access level, the screen is read only.
îš„ If the access level of the user is equal to or greater than the screen's write access
level, the screen can be modified.
The default attributes for the two accounts are shown in the following table:
