Note The root user password is synchronized to the service account password when the service account is created. To gain root access you must log in with the service account and switch to user root with the su - root command.


A service account provides access to the underlying unix shell of the IPS. Creating one is as simple as connecting to the IPS CLI and entering the following command:
username <usernmae> privilege service password <password>
You can also create the service account via the IDM/IME GUI by going to
Configuration => System Setup => Users
and adding a new user with the Service privelege level.
