Chapter 1. IBM Flex System FC3171 8 Gb SAN Switch - QLogic

Managing user accounts
Only the Admin account can manage user accounts with the User Account
Administration dialogs. However, any user can modify their own password. To
open the User Account Administration dialogs, open the Switch menu and select
User Accounts. A user account consists of the following:
• Account name or login
• Password
• Authority level
• Expiration date
Switches come from the factory with the user accounts listed in Table 8:
Table 8. Factory user accounts
Account Name Password Admin Authority Expiration
USERID PASSW0RD true never expires
images images false never expires
The USERID account is the only user that can manage all user accounts with the
User Account Administration dialogs. The USERID account can create, remove, or
modify user accounts, and change account passwords. The USERID account cannot
be removed.
Users with Admin authority can view and modify the switch and its configuration
using QuickTools. Users without Admin authority are limited to viewing switch
status and configuration.
The Images account exchanges files with the switch using sFTP. The Images account
cannot be removed.
Notes:
If the same user account exists on a switch and its RADIUS server, that user can
login with either password, but the authority and account expiration will always
come from the switch database.
