Authentication
This section defines EM authentication CLI functions.
ADD SSHKEY
Syntax
ADD SSHKEY <end marker><newline><certificate><newline><end marker>
Description
Adds an SSH key on the command line. Start with a string that does not appear within the certificate
(end marker). Next, paste in the certificate. Terminate the command with the end marker. Failure
to give a proper end marker before and after the certificate may cause the interface to wait for
the appropriate end marker indefinitely.
Restrictions
This command is only available in script mode.
ADD USER
Syntax
ADD USER "<user name>"["<password>"]
Description
Adds a user to the system. If you do not provide a password, you are prompted for one. If script
mode is enabled and the password is not provided, the password is assigned an unmatched string.
This unmatched string requires an enclosure administrator to change the password to allow the
new user to access the system.
Restrictions
• You can add a maximum of 30 users, including the reserved accounts.
• The <user name> is case-sensitive and must be unique to all other user names and group
names. The user name must be 1 to 40 characters long and can include all alphanumeric
characters, the hyphen, and the underscore.
• The <user name> must begin with a letter.
• The <password> must be 3 to 40 characters long. The character set includes all printable
characters. If you do not enter a password, you are prompted to enter one.
• Reserved user names are: ALL (case insensitive), ADMINISTRATOR (case insensitive), switch1,
switch2, switch3, switch4, switch5, switch6, switch7, switch8, daemon, ldapuser, nobody,
tbmuser_, vcmuser_, root, and quire.
CLEAR SSHKEY
Syntax
CLEAR SSHKEY
Description
Disables a user account. The system immediately logs out the user and prevents the user from
logging in until the account is enabled.
This command is used in the factory to disable the ‘root’ user account. The root user account is
required to perform certain factory-only configuration and diagnostic operations when logged into
the Linux shell.
