VCL can either authenticate users from accounts stored in its own database or from an external source. This page describes how to add local user accounts to the VCL database.

Local VCL accounts are contained within the VCL database. The admin account is an example of a local VCL account. Additional local accounts can be added after the backend management node component has been installed by executing the vcld file with the -setup argument:

Tip

/usr/local/vcl/bin/vcld -setup

Info

It is safe to run vcld -setup while the normal vcld daemon process is running on a management node. Running vcld -setup will not affect it.

You will see a menu. Enter the number next to the VCL Base Module entry:
