Shell users can log in using user names with lowercase, uppercase, or mixed case letters. Login

and hyphens (

), but otherwise only alphanumeric characters are supported. 

If your organization uses SecurID tokens when logging in, append the token to your SecurID PIN and 
use that as your password to log in. For example, if your PIN is 

1111

 and the SecurID token is

The page that appears depends on the default access role for external authentication: 

If a default access role is selected in the authentication object or the system policy, the default start 
page appears. If you selected a new home page for your user account, then that page is displayed 
instead. See 

 for more information. 

The menus and menu options that are available to you at the top of the page are based on the 
privileges for your user account. However, the links on the default home page include options that 
span the range of user account privileges. If you click a link that requires different privileges from 
those granted to your account, the following warning message is displayed:

You are attempting to view an unauthorized page. This activity has been logged.

You can either select a different option from the available menus or click 

 in your browser 

window.

If no default access role is selected, the Login page reappears, with the following error message:

Unable to authorize access. If you continue to have difficulty accessing this 

device, please contact the system administrator.

Note that when you use a RADIUS server using attribute matching as your authentication method, your 
first login attempt is rejected while your user account is created. You must log in a second time.
