  1. Log in to the CLI on the NDR.

  2. Enter privileged mode:

  3. Enter the admin password:

    [sudo] password for <npadmin>: <password>

  4. Enter configuration mode:

    hostname # configure system

  5. Enter the user menu:

    npadmin@hostname(config)# users

  6. Enter 1 to add a user.

    1. Enter the user name.

    2. Enter the full name.

    3. Set the permissions level for the user. See Roles for more information.

    4. Confirm whether the values displayed are correct: type y to confirm and move to the next setting; type n to return to the users menu.

    5. Set the new user as remote or non-remote: type y to specify remote; type n to specify non-remote.

      A remote or dummy user is a prerequisite for RADIUS/TACACS+ authentication.

      Note

      When a remote user logs in with the same username as a local user:

      • If the local user is currently logged in, the remote user is assigned the same role.

      • If the local user is not logged in, the remote user is assigned the default analyst role.

    6. Set the password for a non-remote user.

    7. Type y to confirm the user settings.
