Changing The Login Password - Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9000 Series Getting Started Manual

Unlocking Specified Session Types
You can also unlock session types on a one-by-one basis. For
example, to unlock Telnet sessions only, enter the following
command:
-> aaa authentication telnet local
To unlock WebView (HTTP) sessions only, enter the follow-
ing command:
-> aaa authentication http local
You cannot specify more than one session type in a single
command line. However, you can still unlock multiple session
types by using the aaa authentication command in succes-
sion. For example:
-> aaa authentication http local
-> aaa authentication telnet local
-> aaa authentication ftp local

Changing the Login Password

Change the login password for admin user sessions by follow-
ing the steps below:

type admin (see "Logging In to the Switch" on page
2 Enter the keyword password and press Enter.
3 Enter your new password at the prompt (refer to the
note below).
Note. Typically, the password should be a string of non-
repeating characters. The CLI uses the first occurrence of
the character series to uniquely identify the password. For
example, the password engrengr is the same as engr. A
better password might be engr2735.

You will be prompted to re-enter the password. Enter
the password a second time.
Note. Be sure to remember or securely record all new
passwords; overriding configured passwords on OS9000
switches is restricted.
New password settings are automatically saved in real time to
the local user database; the user is not required to enter an
additional command in order to save the password informa-
tion. Also note that new password information is retained
following a reboot.
