Creating an administrator account

Administrators can run the enable command and access additional information within the SmartWare config- uration modes. Therefore administrators can modify the system configuration, as well as view all relevant sys- tem information.

Creating a new administrator account is described in the following procedure:

Mode: Operator execution

Step	Command	Purpose
1	node>enable	Enters administration execution mode
2	node#configure	Enters configuration mode
3	node(cfg)# administrator name password password	Creates a new administrator account
		name and password password
4	node(cfg)#copy running-config startup-config	Permanently stores the new administrator
		account parameters.

Example: Create an administrator account

The following example shows how to add a new administrator account with a login name super and a matching password Gh3*Ke4h.

node>enable

node#configure

node(cfg)#administrator super password Gh3*Ke4h node(cfg)#copy running-config startup-config

Opening a secure configuration session over SSH

A partial implementation of secure shell according RFC 4251, RFC 4252, RFC 4253 and RFC 4254 is pro- vided. It is possible to open a secure configuration session over SSH to a SmartNode.

Note The Web-GUI and the copy tftp function are still unsecure!

The SSH Transport Layer supports the following Algorithms: “ssh-rsa” public key for signing, “diffie-hell- mann-group1-sha1” and “diffie-hellmann-group14-sha1” for key exchange, “3des-cbc”, “aes256-cbc”, “aes192- cbc” and “aes128-cbc” for encryption, “hmac-sha1” and “hmac-md5” for data integrity. For user authentica- tion, only the method “password” is supported. On the Connection Layer, only the request for an interactive command shell is supported.

After the first startup of SmartWare, the RSA server host key is going to be calculated. This calculation is done in the background and with low priority, so that the SmartNode can operate normally. Until the RSA server host key is calculated, which takes several minutes, it is not possible to open SSH sessions. The RSA server host key is calculated only once and always remains the same.
