9 Optionally, use Require password change on next logon to force a user to change their password the
next time they log in by selecting Use Domain Setting or Enabled. Selecting Use Domain Setting uses
the setting configured on the Portals > Domains page.
10 From the User Type drop-down list, select a user type option. The available user types are User,
Administrator, or Read-only Administrator.
11 Click Accept to update the configuration. After the user has been added, the new user is displayed on
the Local Users window.
Editing User Settings
To edit a user’s attributes, navigate to the Users > Local Users window and click the Configure icon next to the
user whose settings you want to configure. The Edit User Settings window displays.
The Edit Local User page has several tabs as described in the following table:
If the user authenticates to an external authentication server, then the User Type and Password fields are not
shown. The password field is not configurable because the authentication server validates the password. The
user type is not configurable because the SMA/SRA appliance only allows users that authenticate to the internal
user database to have administrative privileges. Also, the user type External is used to identify the local user
instances that are auto-created to correspond to externally authenticating users.
TIP: If the selected group is in a domain that uses external authentication, such as Active Directory,
RADIUS, or LDAP, then the Add User window closes and the new user is added to the Local Users
list.
NOTE: Entering RADIUS, LDAP, and Active Directory user names is only necessary if you wish to
define specific policies or bookmarks per user. If users are not defined in the SMA/SRA appliance,
then global policies and bookmarks applies to users authenticating to an external authentication
server. When working with external (non-LocalDomain) users, a local user entity must exist so that
any user-created (personal) bookmarks can be stored within the Secure Mobile Access
configuration files. Bookmarks must be stored on the SMA/SRA appliance because LDAP and
RADIUS external domains do not provide a direct facility to store such information as bookmarks.
Rather than requiring administrators to manually create local users for external domain users
wishing to use personal bookmarks, the SMA/SRA appliance automatically creates a corresponding
local user entity when an external domain user creates a personal bookmark so that it might store
the bookmark information.
