E/OS Command Line Interface User Manual
config
config.security.authentication.user
One of the fundamental concepts of the authentication portion of the
CLI is that all secured interfaces have interchangeable users that are
stored in a single local authentication user database. In the past, CLI
supported authorization for only two username/password pairs
(Administrator and Operator). These two username/password pairs
were also unique to the CLI interface.
The present CLI lets you configure multiple users for their own
interface, as well as for other management entities and FC
connections. For this reason, the security.userrights branch of
commands has been removed from the command tree.
config.security.authentication.user.add
Syntax add username interface1 [interface2]
Purpose This command adds a new user to the local authentication database.
Each user can be assigned a combination of interfaces that will
authenticate the new username/password combination.
After executing this command, the user will be moved to a new
password prompt where the user will enter a password and will
later, confirm it in the next prompt. After confirming the new
password, the user will be returned to the initial prompt.
No characters will be echoed back to the screen when entering a
password, or when confirming a password.
All new users will be assigned a role of none; a subsequent role
command must be executed to assign a role. Web and CLI users must
be assigned a role before they can access the CLI or web interfaces.
NOTE: The SANtegrity Authentication feature key must be installed to
configure E_port and N_port usernames.
