Reference for command description. Currently, there is no web interface page for defining user groups.
Special feature for Digi Connect ME only
Digi Connect ME uses the two-user model, but you can disable the login prompt (password
authentication).
Password authentication
By default, password authentication is enabled for Digi Connect and ConnectPort TS Family devices.
That means a login prompt appears when you access the device by opening the web interface or
issuing a telnet command.
Disable password authentication
You can disable password authentication as needed.
To change a password from the web interface:
1. Select Configuration > Users.
2. On the Users Configuration page, select the Enable password authentication check box.
3. Click Apply.
To change a password from the command line:
n Issue a newpass command with a zero-length password.
Add a user
Digi Connect and ConnectPort TS Family devices allow you to define multiple users. For those
products, the Users Configuration page shows the currently defined users and allows you to add
users.
To add a user:
1. Select Configuration > Users.
2. Click New user.
3. On the Add New User page, complete the user authentication fields. You can specify a case-
sensitive password from 4 through 16 characters long.
4. Click Apply. The changes take effect immediately. No logout/login is necessary.
Change user access settings
For Digi Connect and ConnectPort TS Family products with the two-user or more-than-two-users
model, you can configure user access to the device interfaces. For example, the administrative user
can access both the command line and web interface, but you can restrict other users to the web
interface only.
CAUTION! Take care in changing access settings. If you sign in as the administrative
user and disable the web interface, you will not be able to sign in to the Digi Connect and
ConnectPort TS Family device on your next attempt, and there is no way to raise your
user permissions to enable the web interface again. You must reset the device to factory
defaults to enable the web interface access.
To set access settings:
1. Select Configuration >Users.
2. Click a user under User Name.
