Managing Webmin user accounts

Picard EcoStruxureIT
‎2007-11-19 07:55 AM

The IT Advisor server configuration is handled in the Webmin web interface and so are the Webmin user accounts.

Creating a new user account (A)

  1. Open the Webmin web interface
    1. Type the address of your IT Advisor server in a Web browser.
    2. On the IT Advisor server's download page, click Server Configuration.
  2. Log on to Webmin using the user credentials created during the installation.
  3. In the left menu, select System>Users and Groups.
  4. Click the Local Users tab.
  5. Click Create a new user.
  6. In User Details, type username, real name, and Normal password.
  7. Select Shell/bin/bash to ensure you can copy command examples in the user assistance or sent to you by technical support as these have been written as bash scripts.
  8. In Group Membership, select New group with same name as user as Primary group.
  9. In Secondary groups, select sudo and click the arrow to move this group into the In groups box. This is needed for performing administration tasks on the IT Advisor server.
  10. Click Create and test the new user account by logging out of Webmin and logging on using the credential created for this user.

Changing a user account (B)

  1. Open the Webmin web interface
    1. Type the address of your IT Advisor server in a Web browser.
    2. On the IT Advisor server's download page, click Server Configuration.
  2. Log on to Webmin using the user credentials created during the installation.
  3. In the left menu, select System>Users and Groups.
  4. Click the Local Users tab.
  5. Open the Edit User page by clicking the Username of the user.
  6. In User Details, change the password by selecting Normal password and typing the new password.
  7. Click Save and test the password change by logging out of Webmin and logging on using the new credentials.

You can also change other password or group membership options. However, do not remove the sudo group membership as this is needed for performing administration tasks on the IT Advisor server.

Recommendation

 

Do not change the username of an existing user. Instead, create a new user with a new username and disable the old user account by selecting the old user and clicking Disable Selected.

You can change the password for IT Advisor in the IT Advisor client.
