Server operators

If you are a server operator, you will only be using the Cmd web interface to configure your account. While you are not expected to monitor alerts or other system activity, you will be affected by Cmd features that appear in the server terminal.

Initial setup

After you login for the first time, click 2-factor authentication from the left menu pane and setup 2-factor authentication.

For more information, see 2-factor authentication.

Server operator Home page

If you do not see the left menu pane, swipe to the left browser edge to show the menu.

Your Home page displays a map of your login location and your account information.

To edit your account information, click Edit and make any changes that may be required.

In the left menu pane are other account details that you can change as needed:

Click Change password to change your password. For more information, see Change password.
Click 2-factor authentication to update your 2-factor authentication permissions, see 2-factor authentication.

Server terminal login

After Cmd has been configured for your system, you will see the following authentication prompts when you login to a server terminal:

Enter the email that was used to set up your Cmd account.
Select the preferred authentication method. You will only see the 2-factor authentication methods that you've set up.
Enter your password or authentication code.
If you choose to authenticate yourself via Cmd, you would need to enter your account password.
If you choose to authenticate yourself through the other 2-factor authentication methods, you would need to enter the generated authentication code.
Start normal operations.

Depending on how Cmd is configured in your system, you may be prompted to authenticate yourself again when performing specific tasks. For more information about Cmd generated prompts and notifications, see Server terminal messages.

NOTE: If you are denied permission to execute specific commands, talk to your system administrator.
