CMS user IDs

Last Updated : Dec 17, 2024 |

The user must have a CMS user ID for local, LDAP, and/or enterprise login methods. This applies even if the login method used does not prompt the user for their user ID, for example as with an enterprise login.

  • For non-LDAP local logins:

    • The CMS user ID can have up to 31 alphanumeric characters and no special characters.

  • For LDAP local logins:

    • The CMS user ID must match the user ID in Active Directory.

    • The CMS user ID can have up to 20 alphanumeric characters and no special characters.

  • If you want to restrict a user to the enterprise login method (web client only), do not assign a valid Linux password when you create the new user and do not set up LDAP authentication for the user. The absence of a Linux password and LDAP authentication blocks the user from logging in using a local login.
