Managing User Accounts in Mideye Server

User accounts can be created in the Mideye database via the web GUI and used by RADIUS clients as an alternative or complement to external LDAP accounts. There are two types of user accounts:

• Database Users: Stand-alone accounts managed within Mideye.
• Hybrid LDAP Users: Accounts that complement or overwrite external LDAP repository accounts.

Creating User Accounts

1. Navigate to Users Management:
   • Go to Users and Tokens > Mideye Users in the web GUI.
2. Add a New User:
   • Click Actions... and select either Add New Database User or Add New Hybrid LDAP User.

Database Users

Database user accounts are utilized by RADIUS clients that have the Use Mideye Database option enabled in the User Repositories section of the RADIUS Client configuration.

Steps to Create a Database User:

1. Enter User Details:
   • Username: Provide a unique username.
   • Role: Select User.
   • Password: Set a password for the account.
2. Authorize RADIUS Clients (Optional):
   • If Database User Authorization Per RADIUS Client is enabled in the RADIUS server advanced settings, specify the allowed RADIUS clients for this user.
3. Force Password Change on First Login (Optional):
   • Check User must change password at next logon to require the user to set a new password upon first login.

   • Role: Select User or appropriate role.
2. Authorize RADIUS Clients (Optional):
