Logging in When you use Advanced Web Tools, you must log in before you can modify any switch information. This section describes upfront login, which determines when you log in, and role-based access control, which is determined by how you log in. Prior to displaying the login window, Advanced Web Tools displays a security banner (if one is configured for your switch), which you must accept before logging in. The security banner is displayed every time you log in, regardless of whether upfront login is enabled. Upfront login Depending on how your switch is configured, you are either prompted to log in once, when you launch Advanced Web Tools (upfront login), or you are prompted to log in whenever you launch a switch administration module, such as the Switch Admin or Zoning module. By default, upfront login is disabled. Use the configure telnet command to enable or disable upfront login. See the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.x command reference guide for information. Table 4 lists different behaviors, depending on whether upfront login is enabled. Table 4 Comparison of login modes Upfront login enabled Upfront login not enabled You must log in before you see the Switch Explorer Switch Explorer launches with no login. (shown in Figure 2 on page 20). A single session is shared by the Switch Explorer and all child windows launched from it. (See "Session management" on page 22 for more information on sessions.) Switch Admin, Zone Admin, and other protected modules require separate login. (These modules are described in subsequent chapters.) Role-based access control is enforced across the Role-based access control is enforced on a entire session. (See Role-based access control next, per-module basis. for more information.) When you log out or close Switch Explorer, all windows belonging to the session are invalided. (See "Logging out" on page 22 for more information.) There is no Logout button in Switch Explorer. Closing the Switch Explorer window does not invalidate other windows that were opened from it. If you refresh the Switch Explorer window, all Refreshing the Switch Explorer window does not windows belonging to the session are invalidated. affect other windows that were opened from it. Inactivity timeout (two hours) invalidates the Switch Explorer and all windows opened from it. Inactivity timeout applies only to protected modules, and each module has its own session. This means that if the Switch Admin module times out, the Zone Admin module could still be left open. Conversely, recent activity in the Switch Admin module does not prevent the Zone Admin module from timing out if there is no activity in that module.
