3.5 Creating/Managing XSCF Users
This section describes how to create/manage the user accounts, passwords, user privileges, and password policy used for XSCF login. To manage user accounts, you can either configure an XSCF local user account or a user account to authenticate to a directory database on a network using the LDAP, Active Directory, or LDAP over SSL.
Use Scenarios of XSCF User Accounts
XSCF user accounts are used to log in with the XSCF shell via SSH or Telnet or with XSCF Web.
Users Who Can Create/Manage an XSCF User Account
To register an XSCF local user account, you need to log in to the XSCF with a user account that has the useradm user privilege. Likewise, to configure authentication for a user account in a directory database on a network using LDAP, Active Directory, or LDAP over SSL, you need to log in with a user account that has the useradm user privilege.
Available XSCF User Account Names
None of the following XSCF user account names are available because they are reserved for the system:
root, bin, daemon, adm, operator, nobody, sshd, rpc, rpcuser, ldap, ntp,
admin, default, proxyuser
The available characters vary depending on how XSCF user accounts are managed.
