Customizing Your ACLI Settings

This section describes several ways you can customize the way you log into the ACLI and the way the ACLI displays information. Where applicable, these descriptions also contain instructions for configuration.

Disabling the Second Login Prompt

With this feature enabled, the ESBC logs you in as a Superuser (i.e., in administrative mode) regardless of your configured privilege level for an SSH session. However, if you log via SSH, you still need to enter the password for local or RADIUS authentication.

Disabling the Second Login Prompt Configuration

You disable the second login prompt in the authentication configuration.

To disable the second login prompt:

In Superuser mode, type configure terminal and press Enter.
```
ORACLE# configure terminal
ORACLE(configure)#
```

Type security and press Enter.

ORACLE(configure)# security
ORACLE(security)#

Type authentication and press Enter. The system prompt changes to let you know that you can begin configuring individual parameters.
```
ORACLE(security)# authentication
ORACLE(authentication)#
```
login-as-admin—Set this parameter to enabled if you want users to be logged automatically in Superuser (administrative) mode. The default for this parameter is disabled.
Save and activate your configuration.

Persistent ACLI more Parameter

To make using the ACLI easier, the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller provides a paging feature controlled through the ACLI cli more command (which you can set to enabled or disabled). Disabled by default, this feature allows you to control how the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller displays information on your screen during a console or SSH session. This command sets the paging feature on a per session basis.

Customers who want to set the paging feature so that settings persist across sessions with the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller can set a configuration parameter that controls the paging feature. Enabling this parameter lets you set your preferences once rather than having to reset them each time you initiate a new session with the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller.

Persistent ACLI more Parameter Configuration

To set the persistent behavior of the ACLI more feature across sessions:

In Superuser mode, type configure terminal and press Enter.
```
ORACLE# configure terminal
ORACLE(configure)#
```

Type system and press Enter.

ORACLE(configure)# system
ORACLE(system)#

Type system-config and press Enter.
```
ORACLE(system)# system-config
ORACLE(system-config)#
```
If you are adding this feature to an existing configuration, you need to select the configuration (using the ACLI select command) before making your changes.
cli-more—Set this parameter to enabled if you want the ACLI more paging feature to work persistently across console or SSH sessions with the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller. If you want to continue to set this feature on a per session basis, leave this parameter set to disabled (default).
Save and activate your configuration.

Customize the Log On Banner Message

When you want to get messaging to your Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller (ESBC) users, you can put your message into the optional log on banner. The log on banner is a text box that displays before the system asks users for their log on credentials.

To get your message into the log on banner, copy a text file to the log on banner field. You must name the file /code/banners/banner.txt and save it in the /code/banners directory. If that directory does not already exist on your system, the ESBC creates it upon boot up.

There is no character limit. The the banner field adjusts to the quantity of text.

If you prefer, you also customize the log on banner through the Web GUI.
