256 CHAPTER 7: AAA COMMANDS
set user Configures a user profile in the local database on the WX switch for a
user with a password.
(To configure a user profile in RADIUS, see the documentation for your
RADIUS server.)
Syntax —
set user username password string (encrypted)
 username — Username of a user with a password.
 password string — Password of up to 32 alphanumeric characters,
with no spaces.
 encrypted — Indicates that the password string you entered is
already in its encrypted form. If you use this option, MSS does not
encrypt the displayed form of the password string, and instead
displays the string exactly as you entered it. If you omit this option,
MSS does encrypt the displayed form of the string
Defaults — None.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — The
display config command shows the encrypted option
with this command, even when you omit the option. The encrypted
option appears in the configuration because MSS automatically encrypts
the password when you create the user (unless you use the encrypted
option when you enter the password)
Although MSS allows you to configure a user password for the special
“last-resort” guest user, the password has no effect. Last-resort users can
never access a WX in administrative mode and never require a password.
Examples — The following command creates a user profile for user Nin
in the local database, and assigns the password goody:
WX4400# set user Nin password goody
success: User Nin created
The following command assigns the password chey3nne to the admin
user:
WX4400# set user admin password chey3nne
