Add a User and Assign Appropriate Privilege

You must have administrator privileges to add users and assign roles.

For more information on adding users, refer to View Privileges for a User in Oracle Fabric OS 1.0.2 Administration Guide or user in Oracle Fabric OS 1.0.2 Command Reference.

1. Log in to the Oracle Fabric Manager GUI.

   Refer to Log In to Oracle Fabric Manager (GUI) in Oracle Fabric OS 1.0.2 Administration Guide.

2. In the GUI, add a user and assign a role to the user.

   Refer to Assign a Role to a User in Oracle Fabric Manager 5.0.2 Administration Guide. For a list of roles, refer to Users and Roles in Oracle Fabric OS 1.0.2 Administration Guide.

3. In the Oracle Fabric Manager GUI or the Oracle Fabric OS, verify that the user was configured correctly.

   [OFOS] show user frank
   name        role             descr
   ----------------------------------
   frank       administrators
   1 record displayed

4. In the Oracle Fabric OS, test the new user account.

   [OFOS] quit
   Connection to 192.168.8.133 closed.
   $ ssh frank@192.168.8.133
   Password: 
   [OFOS] pwd
   /home/frank

Block Access by Unlisted Users

By default, unlisted users are not allowed to access Oracle Fabric OS. A listed user has a user role defined in Oracle Fabric OS, in addition to the underlying user account. If a setting is changed to allow unlisted users, then a user with an account that can authenticate to the host will be able to log in to Oracle Fabric OS and be given the operator role (read-only access). When unlisted users are blocked, an unlisted user's host authentication can succeed, but Oracle Fabric OS will deny that user access, causing it to appear that the authentication failed.

To verify this level of security, ensure that access by unlisted users is disabled.
