RESET USERNAME (RESE U)

Qualifiers:

<user>

Purpose:

Enables MLPP administrators to replace an existing administrative username on the User Authorization Profile form with a new username.

Details:

The command is entered from a CDE/Maintenance terminal connected to the RS-232 port on the 3300 ICP.

Only the System-level user may use this command.

When Enhanced Login Security is enabled on the Security Options Assignment form in CDE, unique usernames must be programmed for the default administrative users (System, Installer, Maintenance1, and Maintenance2) by editing the User Authorization Profile form, or by using the Reset Username maintenance command.

It is recommended that all usernames be changed frequently on an irregular schedule.

Usernames remain valid until a software upgrade is performed or a Data Restore is done. Usernames will revert to their default values after either operation.

When a newly renamed user other than the System-level administrator logs in the first time, he must use either the Reset Password or Change Password command to replace the auto-generated default password with a valid password of his own choosing. The only exception is if the system-level administrator replaces his own name. No new password is generated in that case.

Valid characters for usernames are:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z

WARNING: MITEL recommends that system-level users keep a written copy of their system-level username and password in a secure place. If a system-level username or password is forgotten, system-level access to the system will be denied. Neither the system-level username nor password is recoverable. Therefore, it is vital that both be known before logging out after making changes to either the system-level user name or password.

Example:

Entry: RESE U <user>

System Response:

Enter New Username

User Input: <new username>

System Response:

Verify new username

User Input: <new username>

System Response:

Username Changed
