Password Control Configuration - H3C S9500 Series Operation Manual

Operation Manual – Getting Started
H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches
When purging all history records or the history records of a certain user, the
system requests the standby card to perform backup.
When adding a user to or deleting a user from the blacklist, the system requests
the standby card to perform backup.
The flash memory on the active card and that on the standby keeps the same
copies of history password records and blacklist records.
3) Configuring system password parameters
After password confirmation, the administrator can modify the password at the next
login. Password parameters include:
Password aging time
Alert time before the password expires
Minimum password length
Maximum the number of attempts of entering a password and the processing
mode for failed login attempts
Maximum number of history password records
Timeout time for user authentication
4) Configuring super password parameters
User levels are configured by the administrator during user configuration. The
command super is used to change user levels. For example, a user of level 3 is
allowed to log in to the system. After logging in, if the user wants to change his or her
user level, the user needs to use the command super and pass the super password
authentication. Password control, namely password aging and minimum password
length limitation, must be enabled for this password.
5) Deleting history password records
After the history password record of a user is deleted, the configuration of a new
password will not be restricted by the previously configured history password records.
The system allows the deletion of the history password records of all users or a specific
user.
