Password / Snmpv3 Access - Hirschmann MACH 4000 Reference Manual

Security

2.1 Password / SNMPv3 access

This dialog gives you the option of changing the read and read/write
passwords for access to the device via the Web-based interface, via the CLI,
and via SNMPv3 (SNMP version 3). Please note that passwords are case-
sensitive.
Set different passwords for the read password and the read/write password
so that a user that only has read access (user name "user") does not know,
or cannot guess, the password for read/write access (user name "admin").
If you set identical passwords, when you attempt to write this data the device
reports a general error.
The Web-based interface and the user interface (CLI) use the same
passwords as SNMPv3 for the users "admin" and "user".
Select "Modify read-only password (user)" to enter the read password.
Enter the new read password in the "New password" line and repeat your
entry in the "Please retype" line.
Select "Modify read-write password (admin)" to enter the read/write
password.
Enter the read/write password and repeat your entry.
The "Data encryption" function controls the encryption of the Web-based
management data for the transfer between your PC and the device via
SNMPv3.
– When the data encryption is deactivated, the transfer of the
configuration data is unencrypted, and is protected from corruption.
– The Web-based interface always transfers the passwords securely.
– The Web-based interface always transfers the user name in plain text.
– The device allows you to set the function differently for the access with
the read password and with the read/write password.
