User Management Template

Use this tab to manage EdgeConnect local users and, if desired, require a password with the highest user privilege level when using the Command Line Interface.

ECOS Local User Accounts

  • Each appliance has two default user accounts, admin and monitor.

    • Admin users have read/write privileges.
    • Monitor users have read-only privileges.

  • Passwords for these users are controlled from this template.

  • You can enable or disable users by selecting or clearing the check box in the Enabled column.

  • Click Add to create new users (for example, the ECOS_test user in the following screen capture).

Command Line Interface Privileges

  • The Command Line Interface (CLI) for physical EdgeConnect appliances has three command modes. In order of increasing permissions, they are User EXEC Mode, Privileged EXEC Mode, and Global Configuration Mode.

  • When you first log in to an EdgeConnect appliance via a console port, you are in User EXEC Mode. This provides access to commands for many non-configuration tasks, such as checking the appliance status.

  • To access the next level, Privileged EXEC Mode, enter the enable command. With this template, you can choose to associate and enforce a password with the enable command.
