To address a CiscoWorks2000 security issue, IPM 2.3 will no longer be installed under the user, bin. IPM 2.3 will be installed under the new user, casuser, which belongs to the new group, casusers. In Solaris, the casuser account has the following attributes: •Does not have password •Does not have UNIX shell •Has write permission to the directory /var/adm/CSCOpx •Does not have root privileges In Windows NT and Windows 2000, the casuser account has the following attributes: •An initial password entered by the system administrator during installation •No administrative privileges This ensures that there is no unauthorized access.
