Chapter 1 Setting Up the ACE Connecting and Logging into the ACE Connecting and Logging into the ACE This section describes how to connect to the ACE as the default user from the ACE console port. Once you connect to the ACE as the default user, you can then log in and enter the configuration mode to configure the ACE. Only the Admin context is accessible through the console port; all other contexts can be reached through a Telnet or SSH remote access session. The ACE creates the following default users at startup: admin, dm, and www. • The admin user is the global administrator and cannot be deleted. • The dm user is for accessing the Device Manager GUI and cannot be deleted. The dm user is an internal user required by the Device Manager GUI; it is hidden on the ACE CLI. Note Do not modify the dm user password from the ACE CLI. If the password is changed, the Device Manager GUI will become inoperative. If this occurs, restart the Device Manager using the dm reload command (you must be the global administrator to access the dm reload command). Note that restarting the Device Manager does not impact ACE functionality; however, it may take a few minutes for the Device Manager to reinitialize as it reads the ACE CLI configuration. This command is available only in software versions A1(8.0) and higher. • The ACE uses the www user account for the XML interface and cannot be deleted. Later, when you configure interfaces and IP addresses on the ACE itself, you can remotely access the ACE CLI through an ACE interface by using a Telnet or SSH session. To configure remote access to the ACE CLI, see Chapter 2, Enabling Remote Access to the ACE. For details on configuring interfaces on the ACE, see the Cisco 4700 Series Application Control Engine Appliance Routing and Bridging Configuration Guide. You can configure the ACE to provide a higher level of security for users accessing the ACE. For information about configuring user authentication for login access, see the Cisco 4700 Series Application Control Engine Appliance Security Configuration Guide.
