All users need a user name and password to log in to the user interface. If you are an administrator, you can create new accounts and assign
permissions for users.
Procedure
- Navigate to the Users panel.
- From the menu bar at the top of the WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance user interface, navigate to .
- From the Home panel,
click the Create users link in the Step 1: Set up the appliance section.
- Click the add icon (
) to begin adding a new user.
- Enter an ID in the User name field. The value for this field can be up to 64 characters in length
and cannot be blank. You can use all alphanumeric characters and most
special characters. You cannot use spaces or the following special
characters: < #. This field cannot be changed after you
have created the user. If you are using LDAP authentication, the user
that is being registered must exist in the LDAP repository.
- Optional: Enter the name of the user in the Full name field. This field is used for display
purposes in the user interface. If you do not enter a value for this field, the user name is displayed.
After you have created the user, only the user can edit the field.
The administrator cannot change the value of this field after the
user is created.
- Enter the password for the user in the Password field. The password can use the same characters available
for the User name field. If Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol (SMTP) is enabled, you can leave the password field blank
when a user is created, and a password is automatically generated.
If LDAP authentication is enabled, the Password field is not displayed because the password from the LDAP registry
is used for authentication. Reenter the same password for the user
in the Verify Password field.
- Enter a valid email address for the user in the Email address field. This field specifies
the email address that is used to provide a new password if the user
forgets their password and additional notifications. The email address
is required when a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server is
used. See Managing IBM WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance email delivery for more information.
- Click OK.
Results
You have a new user account that you can use to log on to
the
user interface.
What to do next
When a user is first created only the default permissions
are assigned. If you want to give the new user additional permissions,
then see
Managing users for
details about adding permissions to the user. To add the new user
to a user group, see
Managing user groups.
