Defaults
None.
Access
Enabled.
History
Introduced in MSS 1.0.
Usage
The show 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 an MX in administrative mode and
never require a password.
The only valid username of the form last-resort-* is last-resort-wired. The last-resort-wired user
allows last-resort access on a wired authentication port.
Examples
The following command creates a user profile for user Nin in the local database, and
assigns the password goody:
MX# set user Nin password goody
success: User Nin created
The following command assigns the password chey3nne to the admin user:
MX# set user admin password chey3nne
success: User admin created
The following command changes the password for Nin from goody to 29Jan04:
MX# set user Nin password 29Jan04
username Username of a user with a password.
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.
password string Password of up to 32 alphanumeric characters, with no
spaces.
