The
Configuration Log
records all login attempts and configuration changes made using the web interface,
and can be used as an audit trail. This is particularly useful when you have multiple administrator accounts.
n
More than one administrator session can be running at the same time. These sessions could be using the
web interface, command line interface, or a mixture of both. This may cause confusion if each
administrator session attempts to modify the same configuration settings - changes made in one session
will overwrite changes made in another session.
n
You can configure account session limits and inactivity timeouts (see
Configuring system name and
access settings [p.40]
).
n
If the system is in
advanced account security mode
, a
Login history
page is displayed immediately after
logging in. It shows the recent activity of the currently logged in account.
See the
Configuring administrator accounts [p.263]
section for more information.
FindMe accounts
FindMe accounts are used by individuals in an enterprise to configure the devices and locations on which
they can be contacted through their FindMe ID.
Each FindMe account is accessed using a username and password.
n
If local FindMe account authentication is selected, each FindMe account must be created locally by the
VCS administrator.
n
If remote FindMe account authentication is selected, the VCS administrator must set up FindMe groups to
match the corresponding group names in the remote directory service. Note that only the username and
password details are managed remotely. All other properties of the FindMe account, such as the FindMe
ID, devices and locations are stored in the local VCS database.
See the
Configuring FindMe accounts [p.271]
section for more information about defining FindMe account
details and their associated FindMe devices and locations, and for enabling basic
Starter Pack
provisioning.
We recommend that you use Cisco TMS if you need to provision a large number of FindMe accounts. See
Cisco TMS Provisioning Extension Deployment Guide
for more details on configuring FindMe and user
accounts.
Root account
The VCS provides a root account which can be used to log in to the VCS operating system. The
root
account
should not be used in normal operation, and in particular system configuration should not be conducted using
this account. Use the
admin
account instead.
See the
Using the root account [p.275]
section for more information.
Note:
remember to change the passwords for the
admin
and
root
accounts from their default values.
