Infoblox vNIOS Admin Accounts

A user must have an admin account to log in to the vNIOS appliance. Each admin account belongs to an admin group, which is assigned roles and permissions that determine the tasks a user can perform. Users connect to the vNIOS appliance with a username and password. Infoblox strongly recommends changing the default administrator password to a complex password containing a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.

Additionally, Infoblox recommends creating role-based accounts for admins, using the principle of least privilege, granting minimal permissions needed to conduct required tasks.

For additional information on role-based access control in vNIOS and additional authentication methods, refer to the Infoblox NIOS Admin Guide: https://docs.infoblox.com/display/nios85/Managing+Administrators.
