Chapter 4 Configuring Cisco Access Registrar 4.2

Configuring a Basic Site

Step 1 Run the aregcmd command: aregcmd

Step 2 When asked for “Cluster,” press Enter.

Step 3 Enter your administrator name and password.

When you install CAR software, the installation process creates a default administrator called admin with the password aicuser.

Changing the Administrator’s Password

The administrator ID admin and password aicuser are default settings for all releases of CAR software. For security purposes, you should change the password for admin at your earliest convenience. To change the administrator’s password, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Use the cd command to change to the Administrators level. Cisco AR displays the contents of the Administrators object.

cd //localhost/Administrators

Step 2 Use the cd command to change to admin:

cd admin

[ //localhost/Administrators ] Entries 1 to 1 from 1 total entries Current filter: <all>

admin/

Step 3 Use the set command to change the administrator’s password. You enter the password on the command line in readable form, however, Cisco AR displays it as encrypted.

The following example changes the password to 345. You are asked to reenter it for confirmation.

set Password 345

Optionally, use the set command to change the description of the admin administrator.

set Description local

Step 4 Use the ls command to display the changed admin.

ls
