Managing Passwords

The Storage Management Appliance allows you to manage the passwords needed
by users to access the system. You can also maintain access profiles for selected
applications that require 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 21 for

details.

User Passwords

The Storage Management Appliance logon process prompts each user for a user
name and password. For imported users, the 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 Storage

Management Appliance feature. See “

Importing Users

” on page 29 for more

information.

Individuals with a User or Operator privilege level can change their own
password. A user with Administrator privileges can set the password for any user.
