Starting the Portal
Only Unauthenticated Access
Neither requires nor accepts a user name and password — If the portal only accepts unauthenticated

the System Management Portal CSP application and you are not already authenticated on the
system, the login page displays asking you to enter a User Name and Password. After entering
these fields, click Login to display the System Management Portal [Home] page.
Important:
You can look up the Authentication allowed settings on the [Home] > [Security Management]
> [CSP Applications] page by clicking Edit in the /csp/sys application row.

non-privileged users out of restricted pages to prevent errors.
There are four types of user for the portal, which roughly correspond to predefined resources within
