Fabric OS procedures user guide Changing an Account Password At each level of account access, you can change passwords for that account and accounts that have lesser privileges. If you log in to a user account, you can change only that account's password. If you log in to an admin account, you can change admin and user passwords. You must provide the old password when the account being changed has the same or higher privileges than the current login account. For example, when logged in as admin, you need admin passwords to change passwords for admin accounts (except when you change the default user account password at login), but you do not need user passwords to change passwords for user accounts. A new password must have at least one character different from the old password. The following rules also apply to passwords: ■ You cannot change passwords using SNMP. ■ Password prompting is disabled when security mode is enabled. ■ Starting with Fabric OS v3.2.x, you cannot change default account names. To change the password for the current login account: 1. Connect to the switch and log in as either admin or user. 2. Enter the following command: passwd 3. Enter the requested information at the prompts. To change the password for a different account: 1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin. 2. Enter the following command: passwd name where name Specifies the account name. 3. Enter the requested information at the prompts. If the named account has lesser privileges than the current account, the old password is not required. If the named account has equal or higher privileges than the current account, you are prompted to enter the old password. Setting Up RADIUS AAA Service Fabric OS supports RADIUS authentication, authorization, and accounting service (AAA). When configured for RADIUS, the switch becomes a RADIUS client. In this configuration, authentication records are stored in the RADIUS host server database. Login and logout account name, assigned role, and time-accounting records are also stored on the RADIUS server. Set up RADIUS service through a secure connection such as SSH. By default, RADIUS service is disabled, so AAA services default to the switch local database. 136 Fabric OS 3.x Document Addendum

Fabric OS 3.x Document Addendum

Changing an Account Password

At each level of account access, you can change passwords for that account and accounts that

have lesser privileges.

If you log in to a user account, you can change only that account’s password.

If you log in to an admin account, you can change admin and user passwords. You must

provide the old password when the account being changed has the same or higher privileges

than the current login account. For example, when logged in as admin, you need admin

passwords to change passwords for admin accounts (except when you change the default user

account password at login), but you do not need user passwords to change passwords for user

accounts.

A new password must have at least one character different from the old password. The

following rules also apply to passwords:

■

You cannot change passwords using SNMP.

■

Password prompting is disabled when security mode is enabled.

■

Starting with Fabric OS v3.2.x, you cannot change default account names.

To change the password for the current login account:

Connect to the switch and log in as either admin or user.

Enter the following command:

passwd

Enter the requested information at the prompts.

To change the password for a different account:

Connect to the switch and log in as admin.

Enter the following command:

passwd

name

Enter the requested information at the prompts.

If the named account has lesser privileges than the current account, the old password is not

required. If the named account has equal or higher privileges than the current account, you

are prompted to enter the old password.

Setting Up RADIUS AAA Service

Fabric OS supports RADIUS authentication, authorization, and accounting service (AAA).

When configured for RADIUS, the switch becomes a RADIUS client. In this configuration,

authentication records are stored in the RADIUS host server database. Login and logout

account name, assigned role, and time-accounting records are also stored on the RADIUS

server.

Set up RADIUS service through a secure connection such as SSH.

By default, RADIUS service is disabled, so AAA services default to the switch local database.

where

name

Specifies the account name.
