Disable password authentication
You can disable password authentication as needed.
In the web interface:
1. On the Main menu, click Users.
2. On the Users Configuration page, check the Enable password authentication check box.
3. Click Apply.
From the command line:
Issue a newpass command with a zero-length password.
Change the password for administrative user
To increase security, change the password for the administrative user from its default. By default, the administrative
user name is root.
Note Record the new password. If the changed password is lost, the Digi device must be reset to the default
firmware settings.
In Digi devices with a single-user model, changing the root password also changes the password for Advanced Digi
Discovery Protocol (ADDP). In Digi devices with the multi-user model, changing the root password has no effect on
ADDP. To change the ADDP password, type newpass name=addp from the command line.
In the web interface:
1. On the Main menu, click Users.
2. On the Users Configuration page, click root.
3. Type the new password in the New Password and Confirm Password edit boxes. You can specify a case-sensitive
password from 4 through 16 characters long. Click Apply.
4. You are immediately logged off. Log in to the web interface using the new values.
From the command line:
Issue the newpass command.
Add users
Digi devices allow multiple users to be defined. For those products, the Users Configuration page shows the
currently defined users and allows you to add more user definitions. To add a user definition:
1. On the Main menu, click Users.
2. On the Users Configuration page, click New.
3. On the Add New Users page, specify the user name and password for a user. You can specify a case-sensitive
password from 4 through 16 characters long. Confirm the password, and click Apply. The changes take effect
immediately. No logout/login is necessary.
User access settings
For Digi devices with the two-user or more-than-two-users model, you can configure user access to the device
interfaces. For example, the administrative user can access both the command line and web interface, but other
users can be restricted to the web interface only.
