Security Configuration
The UNIMUX can be configured to either have no security enabled such that any user can connect to the UNIMUX, or have
security enabled such that a user must have a login name and password in order to enter Command Mode and make a
connection with an accessible CPU. Only the administrator has access to Security Configuration.
Within Security Configuration, the administrator has three options:
Function
Keystroke
Enable security just for the user port
that his currently connected through U
Enable Global Security- security
enabled on all user ports E
Disable Global Security- security
disabled on all user ports D
Return to previous menu Esc
Figure 31- Security Configuration
If Security is disabled for the port the user is connected to, and the
user attempts to login to Command Mode with the command key, the
login screen will include the instruction “Press F1 to Autologin”.
With security disabled, Autologin provides full access to all connected
CPUs and all users except the administrator must use it to login.
When security is enabled, Autologin is not available and the user must
login using the administrator assigned user name and password. The
user will have access to only those CPU ports as configured by the
administrator.
If Global security is disabled, and security for the port the user is
connected through is enabled, the user will only need to provide a
username and password when connecting through that user port.
