NOTE: Except for
-uiInactivity
Timeout
changes, which
take effect immediately,
changes to global
administrator settings
are applied at the next
administrator logon.
The Mesh Point CLI displays the configurable fields for set
account one at a time. Enter a new value for the field—or
leave the field blank and the setting unchanged—and strike
Enter↵, to display the next field.
Alternatively, you can execute
set account non-interactively
with valid switches and arguments in any order and
combination:
# set account -historyDepth 0-10 -minCapitalLetters 0-5 -minLowerCaseLetters 0-5
-minNumbers 0-5 -minPunctuation 0-5 -minDifference 0-5 -minPasswordLength 8-32
-passwordExpires Y|N -passwordExpiration 1-365 -passwordExpirationWarning 0-365
-forceNonConfExpire Y|N -showLastLogin enable|disable -uiInactivityTimeout 0|1-60
-failedAttemptTimeout 0|1-60 -usedictionary enable|disable -allowconsecutivecharacters
enable|disable -maxtry 1-9 -lockoutperm Y|N -lockouttime 0-60 -authMethod local|radius
-accountAuthFailback enable|disable
NOTE: The pass-
word complexity
requirements estab-
lished with set
account apply equally
to administrative and
local user account pass-
words (Section 4.5.3).
The Mesh Point CLI returns [OK] when settings are
successfully changed.
You must be logged on to an
administrator -level account to
change administrative settings (refer to Section 2.2).
2.2.2 Administrator Logon Banner
You can configure a logon banner of up to 2000 characters for
display when administrators log on to the Mesh Point.
View the currently configured
WelcomeMessage with show
banner
:
> show banner
If no logon banner is configured, show banner returns no text.
No welcome message is configured by default. Enter a single-
line message for display on administrator logon screens with
set banner.
# set banner -welcome <“banner string”>
You can configure a longer banner that spans multiple lines
using the command
set banner -multi.
# set banner -multi
Enter multiline text (maximum 2000 chars) and press Ctrl-C to exit
When a banner is configured, administrators must accept its
terms in order to log on.
You must be logged on to an
administrator -level account to
change configuration settings (refer to Section 2.2).
