Chapter 2 Configuring CSS Basics Creating Usernames and Passwords • des-password - Specifies that the password you enter is the Data Encryption Standard (DES) form of the password. Use this option only when you are creating a script or a startup configuration file. Enter a DES-encrypted, case-sensitive, unquoted text string with no spaces from 6 to 64 characters. Note If you specify the des-password option, you must know the encrypted form of the password to successfully log in to the CSS. You can find the CSS encrypted password in the Global section of the running-config. To display the running-config, use the show running-config command. • password - Specifies that the password is not encrypted on your display as you enter it. However, the CSS DES-encrypts the password in the running-config for extra security. Use this option when you use the CLI to create users. Enter a case-sensitive, unquoted text string with no spaces from 6 to 16 characters. • password - The text string that you enter. The CSS allows all special characters in a password except for the percent sign (%). • superuser - Specifies SuperUser privileges to allow a user to access SuperUser mode. If you do not enter this option, the user can access only User mode. • dir-access - (Optional) Defines the CSS directory access privileges for the username. There are access privileges assigned to the seven CSS directories, in the following order: Script, Log, Root (installed CSS software), Archive, Release Root (configuration files), Core, and MIBs. By default, users have both read- and write-access privileges (B) to all seven directories. Administrators or technicians can use the dir-access option to selectively implement a set of directory access privileges for each user. Changing the access level also affects the use of the CLI commands associated with directories. To use the dir-access option, you must first specify the restrict user-database command to implement security restrictions for the CSS user database (refer to the Cisco Content Services Switch Administration Guide).
