System Administration
Creating a pre-login banner:
The Set Banner command specifies text that appears prior to the login authentication. This feature
allows administrators to configure a message up to 2070 characters for display of legal, disclaimer or
other text as required by application. If left blank, the user will be taken directly to the login prompt.
NOTE: For SSH sessions, the ‘keyboard-interactive’authentication method must be used for the banner to display.
To create a pre-login banner:
At the Smart CDU: prompt, type set banner and press Enter. Type the desired pre-login banner text
and when finished type Ctrl-z.
Creating a location description:
The Set Location command specifies text that appears in the HTML control screen’s Location field.
The text is also appended to a Welcome to banner that appears when a user successfully logs in serially
or through a Telnet session.
If you do not issue this command, or if you issue this command without specifying any text, the control
screen’s Location field will be blank and no Welcome to banner will be displayed.
To create a location description:
At the Smart CDU: prompt, type set location followed by a descriptive name of up to 24 alphanumeric
and other typeable characters - (ASCII 33 to 126 decimal) are allowed; spaces are allowed. Press
Enter.
Omitting any characters after typing ‘set location’ deletes any previously specified text.
Examples
The following command specifies Florida HQ as the descriptive location for the control screen and the
login banner:
Smart CDU: set location Florida HQ<Enter>
The following command deletes any previously specified location description:
Smart CDU: set location<Enter>
In this case, the control screen’s Location field will be blank, and no welcome banner will be displayed
after a successful login.
