Setting up and maintaining administrator accounts
To create or modify a user account, click New or Modify, and see “Adding or
modifying an administrator account” on page 45 for details.
To delete a user account, highlight the user account you want to delete and
click Delete. A confirmation message appears. Select Yes to delete the
account or No to cancel. (When you delete an administrator account, the user
database entry for that administrator is also removed.)
Adding or modifying an administrator account
When you click New or Modify in the Firewall Accounts window, the following
window appears.
Note: The information shown in the Firewall Accounts window is stored in the
/etc/sidewinder/roles.conf file.
To create a new Sidewinder G2 administrator account or to modify an existing
account, follow the steps below.
1 In the Username field, type the user name for the administrator. The name
can consist of up to 16 alpha-numeric characters and must begin with an
alphabetic character.
If you are editing an existing account, you cannot change the user name.
Important: Do not use uppercase characters in the username field, because
sendmail will automatically convert the user name to lowercase before mail is
delivered. Therefore, any mail addressed to a user name that contains
uppercase characters will not be forwarded.
