Switch behavior with WebUI

The user is prompted for both username and password. Any entry including blank in the username field is allowed. This condition is true for all the below configuration.

WebUI configuration Example: 1:

Operator password: Set          Manager password: Not set
Operator username: Not set      Manager username: Not set
  • Entering only the operator password, logs onto the switch in manager mode because manager password has not been set.

WebUI configuration Example: 2:

Operator password: Not set         Manager password: Set
Operator username: Not set         Manager username: Not set
  • Selecting the login link on the WebUI will prompt for log in.

  • Entering only the manager password, logs onto the switch in manager mode.

WebUI configuration Example: 3:

Operator password: Set            Manager password: Set
Operator username: Not set        Manager username: Not set
  • Logging in using the operator password logs onto the switch in operator mode.

  • Entering only the manager password, logs onto the switch in manager mode.

WebUI configuration Example: 4:

Operator password: Set            Manager password: Set
Operator username: Not set        Manager username: Not set

Both Operator and Manager passwords are the same

  • Entering only the password, logs onto the switch in manager mode.
