Adding Local VCL Accounts
Local VCL accounts are contained within the VCL database. The admin account is 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:
/usr/local/vcl/bin/vcld --setup
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:
