Changing the www User Password

Checking Your Configuration for FT Priority and Preempt

Creating a Checkpoint

OL-11157-01
Before you upgrade to software version A1(8.0a) or higher, you must change the
default www user password if you have not already done so. Otherwise, after you
upgrade the ACE software, the www user will be disabled and you will not be able
to use Extensible Markup Language (XML) to remotely configure an ACE until
you change the default www user password.
See Chapter 2, Configuring Virtualization, in the Cisco 4700 Series Application
Control Engine Appliance Virtualization Configuration Guide for details on
changing a user account password. In this case, the user would be www.
If you want the currently active ACE to remain active after the software upgrade,
be sure that the active ACE has a higher priority than the standby (peer) ACE and
that the preempt command is configured. To check the redundant configuration
of your ACEs, use the show running-config ft command. Note that the preempt
command is enabled by default and does not appear in the running-configuration
file.
We strongly recommend that you create a checkpoint in the running-configuration
file of each context in your ACE. A checkpoint creates a snapshot of your
configuration that you can later roll back to in case a problem occurs with an
upgrade and you want to downgrade the software to a previous release. Use the
checkpoint create command in Exec mode in each context for which you want to
create a configuration checkpoint and name the checkpoint. For details about
creating a checkpoint and rolling back a configuration, see
the ACE Software.
