set user

Configures a user profile in the local database on the WSS for a user with a password.

(To configure a user profile in RADIUS, see the documentation for your RADIUS server.)

Syntax set user username password [encrypted] string

username		Username of a user with a password.
encrypted		Indicates that the password string you entered is already in its
		encrypted form. If you use this option, WSS Software does not
		encrypt the displayed form of the password string, and instead
		displays the string exactly as you entered it. If you omit this
		option, WSS Software does encrypt the displayed form of the
		string.
password string		Password of up to 32 alphanumeric characters, with no spaces.
Defaults	None.
Access	Enabled.

Usage The show config command shows the encrypted option with this command, even when you omit the option. The encrypted option appears in the configuration because WSS Software automatically encrypts the password when you create the user (unless you use the encrypted option when you enter the password).

Although WSS Software allows you to configure a user password for the special “last-resort” guest user, the password has no effect. Last-resort users can never access a WSS in administrative mode and never require a password.

The only valid username of the form last-resort-*is last-resort-wired. The last-resort-wireduser allows last- resort access on a wired authentication port.

Examples The following command creates a user profile for user Nin in the local database, and assigns the password goody:

WSS# set user Nin password goody

success: User Nin created

The following command assigns the password chey3nne to the admin user:

WSS# set user admin password chey3nne

success: User admin created
