Your LANCOM R&S®Unified Firewall offers local user administration for smaller installations without central administration. Use the settings under to enter usernames and passwords. In this way you can define and manage users.
Navigate to to display the list of local users available on the system in the object bar.
In the expanded view, the table columns show the Name of the local user and also a Description, if one has been entered. Use the buttons in the last column to view and modify the settings of a local user, create a new user based on a copy of the existing local user, or delete a user from the system.
Please refer to Icons and buttons for further information.
Under you can add a new user or edit an existing local user.
In the Local User Authentication editing window you can modify the following parameters:
| Input box | Description |
|---|---|
| User Name |
Specify a unique name for the local user. This name is the login name.
Important:
The user's login name must match the User Name (case sensitive). Otherwise, the name in the user-specific firewall rules will not match the name of the user logging in to the client, and the rules will not match. |
| Description | Optional: The information provided here is for internal use by the administrator only. |
| Password | Enter a password for the user and confirm this. The password must contain at least six characters. |
| Show Password | Optional: Set a check mark in the check box to verify the password. |
| Require password change after next login | Optional: If you check this box, the user will have to change their password after the next login. The web server will redirect the user from the login page to a page where the password can be changed. |
The buttons available at the bottom right of the edit box depend on whether you are adding a new local user or editing an existing one. For a newly configured local user, click Create to add the new user to the list of local users, or Cancel to discard the entry.
If you have made changes, you can use the buttons at the bottom right of the edit window to save them (Save) or discard them (Reset). Otherwise you can close the window (Close).
The local users defined here are available for use in desktop objects such as the VPN users.
