Authenticating Global Console users

This topic lists the two records in file that provide the with monitoring access to servers.

The first record authenticates console users who provide the Smart Assurance username “maint” and the password “maint”.

* : maint : maint : Monitor

The second record authenticates console users who provide the Smart Assurance username “oper” and the password “oper”.

* : oper : oper : Monitor

Consoles do not use clientConnect.conf for authentication as there is no automatic authentication. The console prompts for a username and password and passes the information to the server for authentication.

Note: User profile restrictions can be used to further limit certain Global Console operations.
