272 CHAPTER 8: AAA COMMANDS
encrypted — Indicates that the password string you entered is
already in its encrypted form. If you use this option, MSS does not
encrypt the displayed form of the password string, and instead
displays the string exactly as you entered it. If you omit this option,
MSS does encrypt the displayed form of the string.
password string — Password of up to 32 alphanumeric characters,
with no spaces.
Defaults — None.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — Although MSS allows you to configure a user password for the
special “last-resort” guest user, the password has no effect. Last-resort
users can never access a WX in administrative mode and never require a
password.
Examples — The following command creates a user profile for user Nin
in the local database, and assigns the password goody:
WX4400# set user Nin password goody
success: User Nin created
The following command assigns the password chey3nne to the admin
user:
WX4400# set user admin password chey3nne
success: User admin created
The following command changes Nin’s password from goody to 29Jan04:
WX4400# set user Nin password 29Jan04
