Managing local users
If remote authentication is not enabled, the library maintains a database of user names with corresponding passwords and roles. User accounts are stored on the tape library and are not shared with other systems.
A tape library can have up to 80 local users.
To create and manage local user accounts, use the page from the management GUI. From this page you can:
- View all local users and their properties, including their state (Connected or Disconnected), their role, their email address, and the date and time of their last login. The page also indicates if the user is locked out because of too many invalid login attempts.
- Create a new local user account. (For the TS4500, you can't create a local user from the GUI if remote authentication is enabled, but you can using the createUser CLI command.)
- Change a user's email address
- Change a user's role
- Reset a user's password
- Disconnect a user
- Delete a user
- View a user's IP address ()
For the TS4500, you can also use CLI commands to manage users:
- Create a local user (createUser command).
- Delete a local user (deleteUsers command).
- View all remote or local users (viewUsers). This command returns the same information as the GUI Users page.
