A valid username contains 1 to 64 alphanumeric characters. You can also use an underscore (_)
or dash (-) in the username. A valid password is 6 to 32 characters long. All characters except
space and '?' are allowed.
If you do not want to see the password in clear text, wait for the password prompt. Do not type
the password along with the username and privilege.
If you do not specify a privilege level for the user, the user is assigned the default viewer
privilege.
