Managing Secure Fabric OS Managing Passwords When Secure Mode is enabled, the following conditions apply: ■ The passwd command can be entered only on the Primary FCS switch. ■ The Root and Factory accounts can be accessed only from the FCS switches (attempting to use them from a Non-FCS switch generates an error message). ■ The Admin account remains available from all switches, but two passwords are implemented-one for all FCS switches and one for all Non-FCS switches. ■ You can create and remove temporary passwords for specific switches, allowing you to provide temporary access to another user. The User account remains available fabric-wide regardless of whether Secure Mode is enabled. The characteristics of the different accounts when Secure Mode is enabled and disabled are described in Table 16. If a digital certificate is installed, the sectelnet, API, and HTTP passwords are automatically encrypted, regardless of whether Secure Mode is enabled. Note: Record and store the passwords in a secure place; recovering passwords may require significant effort and result in fabric downtime.
