Chapter1 Controlling CSS Access
Creating Usernames and Passwords
•access - Specifies directory access privileges for the username. By default,
users have both read- and write-access privileges (B) to all seven directories.
Enter, in order, one of the following access privilege codes for each of the
seven CSS directories:
–
R - Read-only access to the CSS directory
–
W - Write-only access to the CSS directory
–
B - Both read- and write-access privileges to the CSS directory
–
N - No access privileges to the CSS directory
Figure 1-1 illustrates the directory access privileges for a username.
Figure 1-1 CSS Directory Access Privileges
For example, to define directory access for username picard, enter:
(config)# username picard password “captain” superuser NWBNNNR
To display a list of existing usernames, enter:
(config)# username ?
To remove an existing username, enter:
(config)# no username picard
To change a user password, reenter the username command and specify the new
password. Remember to include SuperUser privileges if required. For example:
(config)# username picard password “flute” superuser
Caution The no username command removes a user permanently. Make sure you want to
perform this action because you cannot undo this command.
