Overview
The local authentication stage is a default stage available to all NetConnect instances. This stage provides administrators with an option to create and manage an internal store of users in the event that a connection to an external authentication store is not required. This page provides the ability to create and manage local users.
Local User Accounts
The Master Admin account
The Master Admin account is the default admin account created when your NetConnect instance was installed. Whilst the name of this account cannot be altered, you are able to change the password from this page. The details for this account must be stored securely as they cannot be recovered by Northbridge Secure. Should these credentials be lost, you will need to reinstall your NetConnect X instance.
