User Access Control, Setting up User IDs

BLADEOS 6.5.2 Application Guide

The administrator can choose the number of days allowed before each password expires. When a strong password expires, the user is allowed to log in one last time (last time) to change the password. A warning provides advance notice for users to change the password.

Use the Strong Password commands to configure Strong Passwords.

>># access user strong-password enable

User Access Control

The end-user access control commands allow you to configure end-user accounts.

Setting up User IDs

Up to 10 user IDs can be configured. Use the following commands to define any user name and set the user password at the resulting prompts:

RS G8124(config)# access user 1 name <1-8 characters>

RS G8124(config)# access user 1 password

Changing user1 password; validation required:

Enter current admin password: <current administrator password>

Enter new user1 password: <new user password>

Re-enter new user1 password: <new user password>

New user1 password accepted.

Defining a User’s Access Level

The end user is by default assigned to the user access level (also known as class of service, or COS). COS for all user accounts have global access to all resources except for User COS, which has access to view only resources that the user owns. For more information, see Table 3 on page 68.

To change the user’s level, select one of the following options:

RS G8124(config)# access user 1 level {useroperatoradministrator}

Validating a User’s Configuration

RS G8124# show access user uid 1

Enabling or Disabling a User

An end user account must be enabled before the switch recognizes and permits login under the account. Once enabled, the switch requires any user to enter both username and password.

RS G8124(config)# [no] access user 1 enable
