Configuring Context-Level Administrators; Configuring Context-Level Operators - Cisco ASR 5500 System Administration Manual

Configuring Context-level Administrative Users
• Additional keyword options are available that identify active administrators or place time thresholds on
the administrator. Refer to the Command Line Interface Reference for more information about the
administrator command.
• The nopassword option allows you to create an administrator without an associated password. Enable
this option when using ssh public keys (authorized key command in SSH Configuration mode) as a
sole means of authentication. When enabled this option prevents someone from using an administrator
password to gain access to the user account.
Save the configuration as described in the Verifying and Saving Your Configuration chapter.
