Cisco Cisco Web Security Appliance S160 User Guide

Any user you define can log into the appliance using any method, such as logging into the web interface 
or using SSH.

.

You can define any number of users locally on the Web Security appliance. 

The default system admin account has all administrative privileges. You can change the admin account 
password, but you cannot edit or delete this account. 

If you have lost the admin user password, contact your Cisco support provider.

Choose System Administration > Users.

Click Add User

Enter a username, noting the following rules:

Usernames can contain lowercase letters, numbers, and the dash ( - ) character, but cannot begin with 
a dash. 

Usernames cannot greater than 16 characters.

Usernames cannot be special names that are reserved by the system, such as “operator” or “root.”

If you also use external authentication, usernames should not duplicate externally-authenticated 
usernames.

Enter a full name for the user.
