Procedure for performing the user account creation task as part of LXCA initial setup.

2. Create a supervisor account to access LXCA and manage the Azure Stack Hub physical nodes. Include the following parameters:

   • Username: AzureStackAdmin (or your preferred user name)

   • Description: <Description of your choice> (optional)

   • Password: <Password>

3. Click Create. The Local User Management page displays with the new user shown. The current active session is now running under this account (upper right corner of screenshot below).

4. It is good practice to create at least two supervisor accounts. In the event that the password of the account just created is lost or forgotten, the “failsafe” account can be used to sign in to LXCA and reset the lost password. To create a second account, click the Create New User icon ( ) shown in the red box in the screenshot above.
5. Repeat step 2 to create a second supervisor account. Include the following parameters:

   • Username: Backup (or your preferred user name)

   • Description: <Description of your choice> (optional)

   • Password: <Password>

6. Click Create. The Local User Management page displays with the second new user. The two other accounts listed are internal system accounts used by LXCA. Do not be modify or remove these accounts.
