Administering logins and passwords

You might be required to set up additional logins, such as the dadmin login that Avaya Business Partners use to perform administration or maintenance on the system, either from the console or via another computer on the customer's LAN. You can use the craft login to activate dadmin or other required logins and grant permission.

You must administer logins and passwords for all INADS-supported systems to support remote maintenance. See the Message Networking planning forms on the Documentation CD-ROM for a list of required logins and passwords.

To administer additional logins:

1. Start at the Administration menu, and select Basic System Administration > Password Administration > Assign/Change Password.
   The Assign/Change Password page displays. For information about the fields on this page, click Help.
2. At the Login drop-down box, select the login that you want to administer (for example, dadmin or craftppp).
3. In the New Password field, enter the appropriate password.
4. In the Re-enter New Password field, type the new password again for verification.
5. Click Save.
   The system displays a confirmation message.
6. Click the Back button on the Web browser to return to the Assign/Change Password page.
7. Repeat Steps 2 through 6 for each additional login you need to administer.
8. When finished, click Return to Main to return to the Administration menu.
