Software Authentication Manager Commands on Cisco IOS XR Software

sam prompt-interval

sam prompt-interval

To set the interval that the Software Authentication Manager (SAM) waits after prompting the user for input when it detects an abnormal condition at boot time and to determine how the SAM responds when it does not receive user input within the specified interval, use the sam prompt-intervalcommand in global configuration mode. To reset the prompt interval and response to their default values, use the no form of this command.

sam prompt-interval time-interval{proceed terminate}

no sam prompt-interval time-interval{proceed terminate}

Usage Guidelines To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.

Use the sam prompt-intervalcommand to control the action taken when the system detects an exception condition, such as an expired certificate during initialization of the SAM at boot time. The following message appears when the software detects the abnormal condition of a certificate authority (CA) certificate expired:

SAM detects expired CA certificate. Continue at risk (Y/N):

The SAM waits at the prompt until you respond or the time interval controlled by the sam prompt-intervalcommand expires, whichever is the earlier event. If you respond “N” to the prompt, the boot process is allowed to complete, but no packages can be installed.
