Chapter 1 General Administration Tasks : Managing User Accounts

Managing User Accounts
Creating User Accounts
The system administrator can assign CLI or SFTP user accounts to multiple individuals within an organization. Create new user accounts or change user account passwords using the username Global CONFIG command:
tibco(config)# username name password password [cli | sftp]
where:
Use the no username Global CONFIG command to delete existing user accounts:
tibco(config)#no username name
where the name parameter is identical to the username command.
Both the username and no username commands must be run in Global Configuration mode.
For example, to create a new CLI user:
tibco> enable
tibco# configure
tibco(config)# username bob01 password tibpub1
tibco(config)#
Changing the CLI Inactivity Timeout Setting
When a CLI user fails to log out or leaves an open CLI session connected to the P-7500 indefinitely, the CLI session connection is automatically closed after a period of inactivity.
Changing Timeout Globally
The default global timeout setting that a CLI session can wait without activity before it times out is five minutes. Global CLI inactivity timeout settings apply across all CLI user sessions.
To change on a global basis the CLI inactivity timeout setting for all CLI user sessions on the TIBCO Messaging Appliance P-7500 system, enter the console Global CONFIG command:
tibco(config)# console timeout idle-timeout
where idle-timeout is the integer value specifying the inactivity timeout value in minutes. Valid range is 0 to 43200. To disable the timer, enter 0.
Changing Timeout Session-by-Session
You can change the CLI timeout setting on a session-by-session basis. The per session setting overrides the global timeout setting, but only for the specified CLI user session.
To change the CLI inactivity timeout setting for your current CLI user session on the TIBCO Messaging Appliance P-7500 system, enter the session Privileged EXEC command:
tibco# session timeout idle-timeout
where idle-timeout is the integer value specifying the inactivity timeout value in minutes. Valid range is 0 to 43200. To disable the timer, enter 0.
Displaying Inactivity Timeout Settings
To show the global inactivity timeout configuration for all CLI user sessions on the TIBCO Messaging Appliance P-7500 system, enter the show console User EXEC command:
tibco> show console
Inactivity timeout: <disabled>
To show the inactivity timeout configuration for all current CLI user sessions on the TIBCO Messaging Appliance P-7500 system, enter the show session User EXEC command:
tibco> show session
Example:
tibco(config)# session timeout 90
tibco> show session
session user from login           idle            timeout
   1     tibco1 192.168.1.213 2008-09-09 10:56:23 0d 0h 1m 52s 0
* 2     tibco2 192.168.1.213 2008-09-09 11:47:43 0d 0h 0m 0s 90
* indicates current session
Disconnecting a CLI User Session
To forcibly disconnect a CLI user session from the TIBCO Messaging Appliance P-7500 system, and thereby allow access to the system for other CLI users, enter the disconnect Privileged EXEC command:
tibco# disconnect sessionid session-id
where session-id is the integer value correlating to an existing session number, as displayed by the show session User EXEC command. The session-id identifies which session to disconnect. Valid range is 1 to 8 (corresponding to the eight possible CLI user sessions).
Note: Users cannot disconnect their own session. A disconnect command that specifies the current session is ignored.
Example
tibco> show session
session     user                from                          login           idle    timeout
* 1        tibco1  192.168.1.35    2008-11-28   16:31:10    0d 0h 0m 0s            90
  2         tibco2  192.168.1.246  2008-11-28   16:43:49    0d 0h 1m 52s            0
* indicates current session
tibco> enable
tibco# disconnect sessionid 2
When user session 2 is disconnected, this message is displayed to tibco2:
Exiting due to disconnect from tibco1, session 1, from 192.168.1.35
