Changing the properties of a Linux administrative account -- modify login

About this task

Use the Modify Login feature to change the properties of a Linux administrative account. For example, assume that you want to restrict the administrative capabilities of the aesadmin3 account (created in Adding a local Linux account for an administrator - sample) to the Avaya Maintenance role only.

Procedure

  1. From the AE Services Management Console main menu, select Security > Account Management > Modify Login.

    AE Services displays the initial Modify Login page, which contains the Login ID text box.

  2. On the Modify Login page, enter a user name in the Login ID field (for example aesadmin3).
  3. Click Continue.
  4. Complete the Modify Login page as follows:
    1. In the Default Login Group field , replace users with avayamaint.
    2. In the Additional login groups (optional) field, delete all entries (leave the field blank).
    3. For the remaining fields, keep the administered settings.
      noteNote

      If you modify any of the password settings (such as PASS_MAX_DAYS or PASS_MIN_DAYS), the settings that you administer on this page take precedence for the particular user you are administering. The default password settings are read in from the PAM Management Global Password Aging page. Any password settings you change on the Modify Login page for a particular user have no effect on the PAM Management Global Password Aging page.

  5. Click Modify.
