Controlling Access to the Configuration

This topic describes how to control access to the Digi One RealPort and PortServer TS configuration, which, of course, is a key to maintaining other aspects of security.

Root and Regular User Privileges

Digi One RealPort and PortServer TS restrict access to the configuration by defining the following types of users:

• The administrator, or root user, who has unlimited access to commands. He or she can view any configuration table and change any configuration parameter. The root is identified by the user name root and must supply a password to be authenticated. The default root password is dbps. You should change this password immediately.
• Regular users, who have much more restricted access to commands. Regular users can view some configuration tables and can change some configuration parameters related to their own sessions and passwords.
