Customer access
The Avaya (Lucent) Access Control (LAC) module allows access to a shell (bash) using any valid
Windows 2000 login. This enhancement allows a customer to use a login, such as NTadmin, to access
Windows 2000 via a bash shell. This feature is not intended to be used by Avaya Services personnel who
continue to use the Lucent Services logins (lucent1, lucent2, lucent3).
Prior to Release 2.0, the LAC module listened only on TCP port 23. A connection to this port produced
different results depending on the login used. For example, a services login (lucent1, lucent2, lucent3)
resulted in the LAC prompt to select Communication Manager, INTUITY AUDIX, or a bash shell. An
alias login, such as donut, resulted in a SAT screen without a LAC prompt. This continues to be supported
in the May 2003 release, but is being deprecated in favor of the use of separate telnet ports for direct
access to embedded AUDIX and INTUITY AUDIX.
If the Telnet session is established to TCP port 22, and the login has privileges to access
Communication Manager, a connection is made directly to SAT without a LAC prompt. If the caller
logs off, the Telnet session is terminated.
If the Telnet session is established to TCP port 24, and the login has privileges to access INTUITY
AUDIX, a connection is made directly to an INTUITY AUDIX Forms Controller administration screen
without a LAC prompt. If the caller logs off, the Telnet session is terminated.
The same logins are used with ports 22, and 24, as well as 23. The difference is that a direct connection is
made to the appropriate application without a LAC prompt or having to use an alias login.
