Security Manager
Release 10 of CWM Security Manager (SM) is a new Java-based application that is launched from the
desktop. The Security Manager provides controlled access to multiple users of Cisco WAN Manager
(CWM), based on the user’s UNIX User ID and password.
Security Manager provides user-access profiles that can be customized for each user. The user-access
profile is a list of operations or actions a user can perform coupled with assigned access privileges for
each action. A user can be assigned access privileges to read, create (write), modify, and/or delete.
By default, only the svplus user can start and stop the CWM core processes. The svplus user has
sufficient access privileges to launch all CWM applications and administer the Security Manager
application.
Other users can be assigned access privileges that enable them to perform operations within
security-controlled applications. These operations can be limited depending on the setting of access
privileges by those who administer Security Management. Without the proper access privileges, users
cannot launch security-controlled applications.
Security Manager Requirements
To use CWM Security Manager application, you must first do two things:
• Use the addnewuser as root, to add a new Unix userID and password.
Note Each CWM Security Manager user must have a unique Unix userID separate from their
existing userID.
• The new user can be added to the CWM Security system by svplus (or any other security
administrator), and access privileges assigned through the CWM Security Manager application.
To add a user, complete the following steps:
Step 1 At the CWM console prompt, enter su and provide a password.
