Set User Password

Passwords can be up to 10 characters long and may use any combination of letters and numbers. Spaces and special characters are not allowed. Passwords are case sensitive, so that upper and lower case letters are different.

Password protection is optional. If no password is defined for a user, CLI will not require a password to log into the Access Navigator.

Passwords provide an added level of security, while allowing meaningful user names such as Gene or Sam. However, assigning a password only ensures that the user must use it to log into the system the first time. After logging in, any user can change, add, or delete their own password.

Set user passwords with the following command.

Syntax: set user <"name"> password

Example: set user "alice" password

The system will prompt you to enter a new password twice for verification. To ensure security, password characters are displayed as asterisks. If no password is entered, none will be required when logging in.

Delete User Password

To delete a user password, so that the user has access without a password, use the

set user <"name"> password command above, but just press the Enter or Return key each time the system prompts you to enter the password.

Delete User

NOTE: Because there must be at least one Level 1 user, the CLI will send an error message if anyone attempts to delete all Level 1 users when there are still users defined at other levels.

Delete old user names with the following command. (The name must be enclosed in quote marks if it contains spaces.)

Syntax: delete user <"name">

Example: delete user "bill"
