Local authentication

The first time you access a WSS, it requires no authentication. (For more information, see “First-time configuration via
the console” on page 77.) In this scenario, after the initial configuration of the WSS, Natasha is connected through the
console and has enabled access.
To enable local authentication for a console user, you must configure a local username. Natasha types the following
commands in this order:
WSS# set user natasha password m@Jor
User natasha created
WSS# set authentication console * local
success: change accepted.
WSS# save config
success: configuration saved.
