524 Appendix C – Securing the SmartServer
In order to create a group, you must first define a list of users and passwords. For example:
Ann : boxcar
Bob : trumpet
John : foxtrot
Jill : mustang
superuser : sfs43fs6f
Users should be grouped together based on the Web folders on the SmartServer that they are going to
access. For example, if Ann, Bob, Jill and John live in the same building, you could group them by
floor. Ann, Bob, and Jill have apartments on the second floor, Bob also happens to have a workshop
on the first floor. Finally, John has an apartment on the third floor. The property management
company maintains the Web site. Their Web master has the access name superuser. The following
table shows which users are to have access to which folders:
floor 1 floor2 floor3
Ann X
Bob X X
Jill X
John X
Superuser X X X
The SmartServer security mechanism allows each user to be a member of one group only. As a result,
you need to create four groups: one for access to floor 1 and floor 2 for Bob, one for access to floor 2
for Ann and Jill, one for access to floor 3 for John, and for access to all floors for superuser.
To set up the users and groups described above, follow these steps:
1. In the Users tab, enter a user name in the Username box, enter the password to be used by the
user in the Password and Confirm Password boxes, and then click Add User.
2. Click the Groups tab to create the necessary groups. To create a group, enter a group name in the
Group Name box and then click Add Group.
