Note
•
Later, when you configure interfaces and IP addresses on the ACE itself, you can remotely access the
ACE CLI through an ACE interface by using a Telnet or SSH session. To configure remote access to the
ACE CLI, see
the ACE, see the Cisco 4700 Series Application Control Engine Appliance Routing and Bridging
Configuration Guide.
You can configure the ACE to provide a higher level of security for users accessing the ACE. For
information about configuring user authentication for login access, see the Cisco 4700 Series
Application Control Engine Appliance Security Configuration Guide.
Restrictions
Only the Admin context is accessible through the consoleport; all other contexts can be reached through
a Telnet or SSH remote access session.

Type n to bypass applying the configuration and saving the running-configuration to the
startup-configuration file.
The admin user is the global administrator and cannot be deleted.
The dm user is for accessing the Device Manager GUI and cannot be deleted. The dm user is an
internal user required by the Device Manager GUI; it is hidden on the ACE CLI.
Do not modify the dm user password from the ACE CLI. If the password is changed, the Device
Manager GUI will become inoperative. If this occurs, restart the Device Manager using the dm
reload command (you must be the global administrator to access the dm reload command).
Note that restarting the Device Manager does not impact ACE functionality; however, it may
take a few minutes for the Device Manager to reinitialize as it reads the ACE CLI configuration.
The ACE uses the www user account for the XML interface and cannot be deleted.
