How do I configure a user account on a managed device?

Note: To perform this procedure, you require an account with an assigned Administrator scope of command role to the sitesec package, or a scope of command role with write access permission to the sitesec package.

Steps
 
1 

Choose Administration→Security→NE User Configuration from the NFM-P main menu. The NE User Configuration form opens.

2 

Click Create or choose a user and click Properties. The NE User (Create|Edit) form opens.

3 

Configure the required parameters.

Note: The SNMP option of the Access parameter is not valid for NEs that are managed using SNMPv2.

4 

If the Console option of the Access parameter is selected, perform the following steps to specify one or more site user profiles for the user account.

  1. Click on the Console Profiles tab.

  2. Use the Select buttons to specify up to eight profiles

When an SNMPv3 user account and group exist on a managed device, you can configure the user authentication parameters. To configure the parameters, perform the following steps.

Note: If MD5 or SHA authentication and DES or AES privacy is used, ensure that the keys are on the device and associated with the SNMPv3 user group.

  1. Click on the SNMPv3 tab.

  2. Configure the required parameters.

Note: Ensure the NEs support a valid combination of authentication and privacy protocols. See the NE documentation or NSP NFM-P User Guide to review the disallowed combinations.

To specify an RSA key for use by SFTP on a 7750 SR MG, perform the following steps.

Note: Only the 7750 SR MG supports RSA key configuration.

  1. Click on the RSA Key tab.

  2. Click Create. The RSA Key (Create) form opens.

  3. Configure the parameters.

  4. Save your changes and close the form.

7 

Click Apply to save the changes.

Distribute the account to NEs, as required.
