Changing Password of the CLI User
For security reasons, passwords of CLI users should be changed periodically. It is
also important to change passwords of CLI users upon administrator reassignment.
CLI user passwords may be modified in one of the following ways:
By CLI user– either upon password expiration (new password will be asked
during the next login) or upon explicit user request (via
passwd
command)
By security administrator – via
tools user
script, as described below.
Note:
The CLI users database is always replicated from Active SC board to the
Standby SC board. Therefore ensure that you change CLI user’s password on
Active SC board only.
To change the password of a CLI user:
1.
Connect to the CLI interface on the Active SC board. For more information, see
Section 'Command Line Interface' on page
2.
Login as
root
user. For more information, see Section 'Logging in as a Root User'
on page
3.
At the prompt, type
tools user
and press
Enter
. The CLI USERS
MANAGEMENT menu is displayed.
