Creating an Account
To create an account login to the ZLD device WebUI and access menu, Configuration → Objects → User/Group. From the User tab, click the Add button to insert a new account.
- User Name – provide a username for the account.
- User Type – specify the account privilege type (user, admin, limited-admin, etc.).
- Password – provide a password for the new user account.
- Retype – confirm the password.
- Description – you can provide a description for the account, this is optional.
- Authentication Timeout Settings – by default user accounts have a 1440-minute lease and reauthentication timer. You can select "Use Manual Settings" to specify your own timeout periods.
- Click OK to save the settings and create the account.
Additionally, a group can be created to bundle like accounts. This can save time when adding user accounts to services, especially if account list is extensive. To create a user group, go to Configuration → Object → User/Group and select the Group tab. Click the Add button to insert a group entry.
- Name – provide a name for the group entry.
- Description – provide an optional description of the group.
- Member List – add users from the "Available" list to the "Member" list.
- Click OK to save the group setup.
By default, any account added will use 1440-minute timeout period for lease and re-authentication. If you wish to change the default setting so that all accounts you add have a shorter timeout value you can make the necessary changes in, Configuration → Object → User/Group and select the Setting tab. From here you can change the timeout values for the different account types (admin, user, limited-admin, etc.).
