Login authentication
Unisphere authenticates users attempting to access the system.
When you log in, Unisphere checks the following authorities:
- Windows—The user has a Windows account on the server. (Log in to Unisphere with your Windows Domain\Username and Password.)
- LDAP-SSL—The user account is stored on an LDAP-SSL server. (Log in to with your Unisphere LDAP-SSL Username and Password.)
The Unisphere Administrator or SecurityAdmin must set the LDAP-SSL server location in the LDAP-SSL Configuration dialog box.
- Local—The user has a local Unisphere account. Local user accounts are stored locally on the Unisphere server host. (Log in to Unisphere with your Username and Password.)
- RSA SecurID MFA—If RSA SecurID MFA authentication is enabled, the RSA token must be entered into the password field immediately followed by the user's password.
See for information about configuring authentication authorities.
User names are case-sensitive and allow alphanumeric characters of either case, an underscore, a dash, or a period:
- a-z
- A-Z
- 0-9
- _
- .
- -
There are no restrictions on special characters when using passwords.
The Initial Setup User (ISU) is used to create the user account or add authorization rules to existing LDAP/AD or Windows OS users.
