2.1.4. The CLI
as well as providing user information for auditing.
When accessing the CLI remotely through SSH, NetDefendOS will respond with a login prompt.
Enter the username and press the Enter key, followed by the password and then Enter again.
After a successful logon, the CLI command prompt will appear:
gw-world:/>
If a welcome message has been set then it will be displayed directly after the logon. For security
reasons, it is advisable to either disable or anonymize the CLI welcome message.
Changing the admin User Password
It is recommended to change the default password of the admin account from admin to something
else as soon as possible after initial startup. User passwords can be any combination of characters
and cannot be greater than 256 characters in length. It is recommended to use only printable
characters.
To change the password to, for example, my-password the following CLI commands are used. First
we must change the current category to be the LocalUserDatabase called AdminUsers (which exists
by default):
gw-world:/> cc LocalUserDatabase AdminUsers
We are now in AdminUsers and can change the password of the admin user:
gw-world:/AdminUsers> set User admin Password="my-password"
Finally, we return the current category to the top level:
gw-world:/AdminUsers> cc
Changing the CLI Prompt
The default CLI prompt is:
gw-world:/>
where Device is the model number of the NetDefend Firewall. This can be customized, for example,
to my-prompt:/>, by using the CLI command:
gw-world:/> set device name="my-prompt"
The CLI Reference Guide uses the command prompt gw-world:/> throughout.
Note: The console password is separate
The password that can be set to protect direct serial console access is a separate
password and should not be confused with the passwords related to user accounts. The
console password is described in Section 2.1.7, "The Console Boot Menu".
Tip: The CLI prompt is the Web Interface device name
When the command line prompt is changed to a new string value, this string also
appears as the new device name in the top level node of the Web Interface navigation
