This command has no required parameters.
Parameters
Root> config security authentication switch setSecret
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 (one
Administrator-level and another Operator-level). 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.
Syntax
add username
This command adds a new user to the local authentication database.
Purpose
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; the
password must then be confirmed in 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.
