User Configuration Screen

This section describes the buttons, option boxes, and data fields found on the User Configuration screen, as shown in Figure 4-2.

Figures 4-2 and 4-3 show the User Configuration screen, as it appears when you log in. Figure 4-2 shows what the screen looks like when you log in for the first time. Users 1000 and 1001 were provisioned by the make allinone script.

Tip

Ignore the message, “Warning: Applet Window,” that appears at the bottom of the GUI screen. It is a default Java message that was not removed by the developers.

Figure 4-3 shows what the screen looks like after some users have been added. For more information about adding users, see "Adding New Users,” later.

Buttons

Table 4-2 describes the buttons used on the User Configuration screen.

Table 4-2. User Configuration screen: buttons

Button	Description
Back	Lets you return to the login screen.
Load all users	Lets you load information for all users. Clicking this button fills the user record fields with data. This function restricts user input until it has completed running, rendering your screen inaccessible for several minutes or hours, depending on the number of subscribers.
Find	Lets you find users.

Option Boxes

The option boxes filter the fields displayed on the User Configuration screen. If none of the boxes is selected, only the Name, User Group, IP, and Marshal fields appear. If all of the boxes are selected, all of the fields appear on the User Configuration screen.

Table 4-3 describes the option boxes.
