   Table 1 Parameters of the new administrator

   Parameter	Description	Value
   Username	User name for logging in to the ATIC management center. After an administrator is created, its user name cannot be changed.	-
   Authentication Mode	Mode for authenticating the login of a system administrator to the ATIC management center.	Password authentication is a local authentication mode that the user name and password are directly specified on the ATIC management center server. Advantages: high speed, and low operation expenditure Disadvantages: low security, and storage capacity restricted by the ATIC management center server hardware conditions RADIUS authentication means that the user information is configured on the Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) server, and the ATIC management center communicates with the RADIUS server as the client and it performs the remote authentication through the RADIUS protocol. Advantages: high security and reliability when the third-party server is used for authentication because it supports the resending mechanism and standby server mechanism Disadvantages: high operation expenditure as it requires the deployment of the RADIUS server NOTE: When RADIUS authentication is adopted, you need to configure the RADIUS server. For details, see Configuring the Authentication Server.
   Password	Password for logging in to the ATIC management center when the password authentication is used.	The password must contain no less than eight characters and must contain letters, digits, and special characters at the same time by default. A specific password is subject to the password policy configured in the system security policy. For details about the specific requirements, see Configuring the System Security Policy.
   Confirm password	Enter the password again. The two passwords must be identical.	The parameter value must be the same as that in Password.
   Description	Brief description of the administrator, helping identifying the administrator.	-
