Setting Super Password Control Parameters; Setting A Local User Password In Interactive Mode; Displaying And Maintaining Password Control - HP 5500 HI Series Configuration Manual

Setting super password control parameters

CLI commands fall into four levels: visit, monitor, system, and manage, in ascending order. Accordingly,
login users fall into four levels, each corresponding to a command level. A user of a certain level can only
use the commands at that level or lower levels.
To switch from a lower user level to a higher one, a user needs to enter a password for authentication.
This password is called a super password. For more information on super passwords, see Fundamentals
Configuration Guide.
To set super password control parameters:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Set the password aging time
for super passwords.
3. Configure the minimum length
for super passwords.
4. Configure the password
composition policy for super
passwords.

Setting a local user password in interactive mode

You can set a password for a local user in interactive mode. When doing so, you need to confirm the
password.
To set a password for a local user in interactive mode:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Create a local user and enter local user view.
3. Set the password for the local user in interactive
mode.
