Cisco DNCS System Release 2.8.1 3.8.1 4.3.1 User Guide

Access to Report Writer requires that the user ID and password are different and unrelated to the system user ID
and passwords.

Report Writer is shipped with the user name sareports and the password report. When adding users or changing
passwords, follow these guidelines:



The user name sareports should be the first entry after the group name.



Each user name is separated by a space.



In the following example, only the "normal" group has access to the reports.

Example: normal: sareports [username] [username]

Note: To remove a user, remove the user's name from the groups file.

1.

Log in as root on the DNCS.

2.

Type cd /usr/local/apache2/bin and press Enter.

3.

Type ./htpasswd /usr/local/apache2/conf/users [username] and press Enter. Replace

[username] with the user you are adding or the user whose password you are changing. Do not type the
brackets [ ] in the command.

4.

Type and confirm the password.

5.

Add the user to the groups file. Use a text editor to open the /usr/local/apache2/conf/groups file

and append the user name to the line that begins with the word "normal."
