15.2 Local user accounts
193
Note:
It is also possible to select more than one account by using the
Ctrl
and
Shift
keys to perform mass changes of parameters for all selected accounts.
In mapped
Active Directory
domains, it is not allowed to create or/and remove user accounts.
These actions must be performed in the
Active Directory
database on the relevant domain
server. It is also not possible to import user accounts — such an action would take no effect
in case of a mapped domain.
15.2 Local user accounts
Local accounts are accounts created in
WinRoute
or imported from a domain. These accounts
are stored in the
WinRoute
configuration database (see chapter
). These accounts can
be useful especially in domainless environments or for special purposes (typically for the
firewall’s administration).
Regardless on the method used for creation of the account, each user can be authenticated
through the
WinRoute’s
internal database,
Active Directory
or
Windows NT
domain.
The basic administrator account (
Admin
) is created during the
WinRoute
installation process.
This account has full rights for
WinRoute
administration. It can be removed if there is at least
one other account with full administration rights.
Warning
1.
All passwords should be kept safe and secret, otherwise they might be misused by an
unauthorized person.
2.
If all accounts with full administration rights are removed and you logout from the
WinRoute
administration, it is not possible to connect to the
WinRoute
administration
any longer. Under these conditions, a local user account (
Admin
with a blank password)
will be created automatically upon the next start of the
WinRoute Firewall Engine
.
3.
Provided that you forget your administration password, contact the
Kerio Technologies
technical support (see chapter
Creating a local user account
Open the
User Accounts
tab in the
User and groups
→
Users
section. In the
Domain
combo
box, select
Local User Database
.
Click on the
Add
button to open a guide to create a new user account.
