Configuring the Appliance Settings

The Appliance tab lets you automatically create or update a user on different remote managed appliances.

This tab is applicable only to Management Stations or Management Appliances. It is available for LogLogic appliance-based users, and not for Active Directory users.

When appliances are selected for a user, any change to that user is automatically replicated to the selected appliances.

Note: User privilege on the remote appliance is required for the user to remotely control the appliance.
  • When adding a user on a remote appliance, the User tabs are dependent on each other. You must complete the General, Privileges, and Device tabs before you can access the Appliances tab.
  • When modifying a user, you can access any tab in any sequence, because the data in the tabs already exists and is fetched from when the user was added.

You can also add a user to a managed appliance by:

  • Adding a user through direct access to the appliance
  • Replicating the user information to other managed appliances from the Administration > User Replication tab.

To specify managed appliances that this user can access and to add user privilege for the remote appliance, perform the steps in the following procedure.
