Introduction
You can configure up to four users in the IOLAN’s local user database,
in addition to the Admin user. A user can even represent a device, like a
barcode reader or a card swipe device, that you want to be authenticated.
When users are connecting to the IOLAN via serial ports, the user
database can be used to:
z Have the user authenticated prior to establishing a connection to a
network host.
z Establish a different connection type to the host specific to each user.
z Create a profile different from the Default user profile.
When users are connecting to the IOLAN from a network connection, the user database can be used
to:
z Authenticate users prior to providing access to a serially attached console port (such as a Unix
server or router).
