Adding and Modifying Users
User profiles associate information with a user name for authentication
and authorization. This information is defined by attribute-value pairs.
The server configuration must include profiles for all the users that can
access services through the AAA server. If a user profile is not included
in the configuration, the server will reject the users access request.
Profiles may be stored in flat text files or an external source. The Users
screen allows you to add a new user, modify an existing user, or delete an
existing user from a text file. This screen is accessed by selecting the
Users link from the graphic interfaces Navigation Tree.
When adding a new user profile to the server configuration or modifying
an existing entry, you supply values for the user profile attributes
through a form’s fields. This form is tabbed according to groups of
attribute-value pairs. Initially, the General tab is active.
