Issuing User Passwords

Configuring SSH Version 2 for Secure Communication

Chapter 12 Configuring Security Features
• By user where a user is required to login and may be required to
supply a password, but once the user is authenticated, an automatic
connection to a host is made.
For information on configuring autoconnection, see "Configuring
Autoconnection" on page 49.

Method 2: Menus

Menus select destination systems without having to access the device
server command line. For information on configuring menus, see the
description of the set menu command in the Digi One/PortServer TS
Command Reference.
This section discusses how to issue user passwords.

Related Information

See the newpass and set user commands in the Digi One/PortServer TS

Starting Point

This procedure assumes that you have signed on as root and already
configured the user to whom you will be issuing a password.
The Advanced tab under User allows you to set Escape characters for
Connect, Telnet, Rlogin, and Kill as well as an SSH Public Key. Click Apply
to save the settings.

Procedure

1. Issue a newpass command that identifies the user (on the name field)
to whom this password will be issued.
2. When the system prompts you for a new password, type in the pass-
word and then press Enter.
3. When the system prompts you to enter the new password again, type it
in and then press Enter.
