Users and Audit Logs

The ADC provides the ability to have an internal set of users to configure and define what the ADC does. Users defined within the ADC can perform a variety of operations depending on the role attached to them.

There is a default user called admin that you use when first configuring the ADC. The default password for admin is jetnexus.
