Managing Passwords

The Storage Management Appliance allows you to manage the passwords used by

users to access the system. You can also maintain access profiles for selected

applications that contain passwords and other logon information. These access

profiles allow two applications operating in your SAN environment to exchange

data.
Consider using SSL to encrypt the transmission of passwords when creating or

modifying passwords. See “

Using the Secure Sockets Layer

,” on page 22 for

details.

Changing User Passwords

The Management Appliance logon process prompts the user for a user name and

password. For an imported user, their user name and password are those assigned

in their Windows domain user account.

Note:

The password for an imported user cannot be changed with any Management

Appliance feature. See “

Importing Users

, on page 26 for more information.

Users with a User or Operator privilege level can change their own password. A

user with Administrator privileges can set the password for any user, however a

password is not required.
