change-password

The change-password operation allows you to change the password. It is recommended that you should change the password from the default when you log in for the first time.

Note

Non-Administrator user passwords can be changed once per calendar day. If more than one attempt is made to change non-Administrator passwords, the following error message displays from CLI command line:

"The password cannot be changed by a non Administrator group user more than once a day"

Password Criteria

Password RuleValue
Minimum password character length8
Minimum number of upper case characters1
Minimum number of lower case characters1
Minimum number of digits1
Minimum number of special characters1
Maximum number of consecutive repeating characters3
Minimum number of differences to the old password4
Number of previous passwords not to repeat using4
Note

The new password entered should not be same as user name.

 

See Managing SBC Core Users and Accounts for additional details.

Command Syntax

> change-password

Command Example

change-password
> change-password
Enter old password: *********
Enter new password: **********
Re-enter new password: **********
passwd: password updated successfully

 

clear

Use this command to clear command entry history for the current session.

commit

If you issue a set, edit or delete command in the system CLI mode or configuration mode, you must perform a commit for the changes to take effect. A commit is not required for a request command.

In addition, any command that changes the mode or state of an object must be entered and committed separately. The examples under the set command description include the appropriate commit entries.

Command Syntax

> commit

  

Note

As a best practice, issue a commit command after each group of approximately 10 set commands are entered.

configure

The Configure mode lets you create or modify, show, and delete configurable SBC objects. Two modes are available:

  • exclusive: Only one exclusive session is possible at a time. Private sessions are allowed during an exclusive session but the private sessions cannot commit their changes. An exclusive session cannot start when a private session is in the process of committing its changes.

  • private: Multiple private sessions can occur simultaneously. Changes made in a private session can be committed while other private sessions are open, which updates the current configuration.

    Enter configure with no arguments to select the default private mode.

Command Syntax

> configure <exclusive | private>

Command Example

To configure SBC in private mode: 

configure private
admin@server1> configure private 
Entering configuration mode private 
[ok][2012-04-26 01:33:15] 
[edit]

Note

Up to 16 simultaneous CLI sessions are allowed.
