Context config>system>security>user
Description This command configures the user password for console and FTP access.
The password is stored in an encrypted format in the configuration file when specified. Passwords
should be encased in double quotes (“ “) at the time of the password creation. The double quote char-
acter (“) is not accepted inside a password. It is interpreted as the start or stop delimiter of a string.
The password can be entered as plain text or a hashed value. SR OS can distinguish between hashed
passwords and plain text passwords and take the appropriate action to store the password correctly.
