System user authentication and authorization 编辑

To configure Citrix ADC user authentication and authorization, you must first define the users who have access to the Citrix ADC appliance, and then you can organize these users into groups. After configuring users and groups, you need to configure command policies to define types of access, and assign the policies to users and/or groups.

You must log on as an administrator to configure users, groups, and command policies. The default Citrix ADC administrator user name is nsroot. After logging on as the default administrator, you should change the password for the nsroot account. Once you have changed the password, no user can access the Citrix ADC appliance until you create an account for that user. If you forget the administrator password after changing it from the default, you can reset it to nsroot.

Note:

• Local users can authenticate to the Citrix ADC even if external authentication servers are configured. You can restrict this by disabling the localAuth parameter of the set system parameter command.

• For enhanced security, Citrix recommends that you change the nsroot password. Frequently changing the password is advisable. For information about how to change the nsroot password, see Resetting the default administrator (nsroot) password topic.
