Cannot add new User ID

[kclenden]

I don't seem to be able to add a new user id.  Well, more exactly, I can add a user id but it doesn't appear to work.  I'm running v5.0.13D.

Here's what happens:

• Under "Set User ID #1" - I add a name and password
• Select "Yes" on confirm screen
• Logout of Admin Console
• Login attempting to use new User ID and receive "Failed, Retry Authentication ISY"
• Login using Admin ID

Now here are two more strange things:

• I am able to change the name and password for the Admin ID
• The name I set for User ID #1 seems to have been saved for User ID #1 because if I try to create User ID #2 using the same name I used for User ID #1 I get an error after clicking "Yes" on the confirm screen, though the error says "Userid length not valid".  If I choose a different name for User ID #2, I can click "Yes" on the confirm screen without getting an error.

What am I doing wrong?

The user id / passwords 1-9 are for use in V5 nodeserver authentication, and not for alternative authentication to the ISY Admin Console / Dashboard / Web interface

Thanks.  I did a brief check of the wiki and it wasn't immediately clear to me that the extra user id's were for nodeserver authentication, but it was late at night and I didn't dig deep.  ?

Don't sweat it, I did the same thing when I first saw it
