The following types of users can log into the Web Security appliance to manage the 
appliance:

• Local users. You can define users locally on the appliance itself. For more information, see 

• Users defined in an external system. You can configure the appliance to connect to an 

external RADIUS server to authenticate users logging into the appliance. For information, 
see “Using External Authentication” on page 500.

You can manage local users and connections to external authentication servers using the 
System Administration > Users page in the web interface, or the 

userconfig

 command in 

the CLI. 

Figure 22-6 shows where you manage local users and external authentication.

Note — 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 users locally on the Web Security appliance. You can add, edit, 
and delete local users. Consider the following rules when defining local users:

• User names can contain lowercase letters, numbers, and the dash ( - ) character. 

• User names cannot start with a dash. 

• User names cannot be longer than 16 characters.

• Passwords must be at least 6 characters long.

• User names cannot be special names that are reserved by the system, such as “operator” 

or “root.”

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