NOTES:
1. The FTP and telnet interfaces permit whoever authenticates to view or change module data.
2. If you deploy a module with this password combination, ensure that your intent is to allow the
Display-Only user to view or change module data.
3. If you deploy a module with either of these password combinations, the Display-Only user
cannot authenticate in an FTP or telnet interface, even with the user name root and the set
Display-Only Access password.
Because of these interactions, manage passwords for a module as follows:
◦ To allow anyone who can interface with a module to view or change module
data, set neither password.
◦ To allow only one user to have access to a module, set either the Display-Only
Access password or the Full Access password.
◦ To allow one user to have view-only access and another user to have both view
and change access, set both passwords.
22.3.2 Setting and Changing Passwords
Setting and Changing Canopy Module Passwords
To set the Display-Only Access password, enter the same expression in both Display-
Only Access fields for verification. When the web-based interface prompts for this
password, no user name is required. However, when a telnet or FTP session prompts
for this password, you must enter the user name root in addition to the password.
To set the Full Access password, enter the same expression in both Full Access fields
for verification. When the web-based interface prompts for this password, no user name
is required. However, when a telnet or FTP session prompts for this password, you
must enter the user name root in addition to the password.
