This information is storedinternally in an encrypted format. There are several forms ofauthentication and this one is known as local authentication. All usershave to be authenticated. If the KX II is configured for LDAP/LDAPS orRADIUS, that authentication is processed first, followed by localauthentication.Every KX II is delivered with three default user groups. These groupscannot be deleted:User DescriptionAdmin Users that are members of this group have fulladministrative privileges. The original, factory-defaultuser is a member of this group and has the completeset of system privileges. In addition, the Admin usermust be a member of the Admin group.Unknown This is the default group for users who areauthenticated externally using LDAP/LDAPS orRADIUS or who are unknown to the system. If theexternal LDAP/LDAPS or RADIUS server does notidentify a valid user group, the Unknown group isused. In addition, any newly created user isautomatically put in this group until assigned toanother group.IndividualGroupAn individual group is essentially a “group” of one.That is, the specific user is in its own group, notaffiliated with other real groups. Individual groups canbe identified by the “@” in the Group Name. Theindividual group allows a user account to have thesame rights as a group.Up to 254 user groups can be created in the KX II. Up to 254 usergroups can be created in the KX II.Chapter 7 User Management
