scsirouter password
The initial “9” in the example display indicates that the password is encrypted.
• You can re-enter an encrypted password using the normal scsirouter password command. Enter the
encrypted password in single or double quotes, starting with 9 and a single space. For example,
copying and pasting password "9 ea9bb0c57ca4806d3555f3f78a4204177a" from the example above
into the scsirouter mars password command would assign the SCSI routing instance mars the
same iSCSI password as the SCSI routing instance zeus. This functionality allows passwords to be
restored from saved configuration files.
• When entering a password, a zero followed by a single space indicates that the following string is
not encrypted; 9 followed by a single space indicates that the following string is encrypted. To enter
a password that starts with 9 or zero, followed by one or more spaces, enter a zero and a space and
then enter the password string. For example, to enter the password “0 123” for the SCSI routing
instance zeus, enter this command:
scsirouter zeus password “0 0 123”
To enter the password “9 73Zjm 5” for SCSI routing instance lab3, use this command:
scsirouter lab3 password ‘0 9 73Zjm 5’
Examples The following example enables iSCSI authentication, using the default authentication list, for the SCSI
routing instance named lab3 and assigns a user name of lab3-admin and a password of testing to the
instance for two-way authentication:
[SN5428-2A]# scsirouter lab3 authentication default
*[SN5428-2A]# scsirouter lab3 username lab3-admin
*[SN5428-2A]# scsirouter lab3 password testing
