You do not use a username to login to Xeoma. The password is what you use. If you have multiple users just enter the password for the user you are trying to log into.

if some users have the same pass , so what? They can see cameras from another user? It is incorrect.

Why would you give the same password to two users? Honestly makes no sense to me. Each password has to be unique (not used by other users).

I randomly generate and store all my passwords in LastPass with a 16 character minimum length. This way there are never password conflicts.

IF User change his own password and the password will be the same as another user ?

I don't believe users can change their password. The administrator is the only one that can do that. If your users are choosing good enough passwords the chance for duplicates is very slim. Randomly generating passwords is best though.

Hello!
skylord123 is correct - setting passwords is the admin's privilege only, users do not choose their own passwords, this eliminates the possibility of 2 identical passwords existing within the same Xeoma server.
Kokourov, if it is imperative for your users to use both username and password to access the cameras, you may want to consider employing the "Web Server" module - the web page requires both these credentials for access.
