To add a new user and optionally assign a domain role, do the following:

Task

  1. Select Manager → <Admin Domain Name> → Users and Roles → Users.
  2. Click .
    The Add a User page is displayed. Fill in the required fields. The fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required fields.
  3. Type the Login ID. The Login ID parameters that can be used are as follows:
    • 26 alpha: upper and lower case (a,b,c,...z and A, B, C,...Z)
    • 10 digits: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
    • 6 symbols: . ' : - _ ( ) space
  4. For Authentication Type choose one of the following (if available):
    • Local — Authenticate locally on Manager.
    • LDAP — Authenticate using an LDAP server. If you select this option, also type the LDAP User DN (distinguished name).

      Use the following format for the LDAP User DN:

      uid=userName,ou=People,dc=DomainName,dc=com

      If using Active Directory, use the following format:

      userloginname@domain.com

      or

      cn=userName,ou=People,dc=DomainName,dc=com

      Use a valid DN, as LDAP authentication may not operate correctly without a valid DN. Consult with your system administrator to obtain the correct DN for your LDAP server.

    • RADIUS — Select one of the following RADIUS authentication protocols. If you select this option, also type a valid RADIUS ID, which will be used for authenticating your settings against the RADIUS server.
      • RADIUS using PAP (Password Authentication Protocol)
      • RADIUS using the CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol)
      • RADIUS using the EAP-MD5 (Extensible Authentication Protocol-MD5)

    If you have selected the Authentication Type as Local, you will have to fill the Password and Verify Password field.

  5. The Password must be a minimum of eight (8) characters and maximum of sixty four (64) characters in length, and must contain a combination of numbers, characters, and special characters. Password parameters that can be used are as follows:
    • 26 alpha: upper and lower case (a,b,c,...z and A, B, C,...Z)
    • 10 digits: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
    • 32 symbols: ~ ` ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + - = [ ] { } \ | ; : " ' , . <>? /

      Note

      If RADIUS or LDAP authentication is enabled, you must also select the type of authentication to use for this new user.

      Note

      Trellix strongly recommends that you change the default password for security purposes. For more information on the password control, see Configure password complexity settings.
