33.18.8.1.3 Configuring Private/public key Authentication as the only Valid
Authentication Scheme
RSA or DSA private/public key authentication may be configured to be the only valid
authentication scheme for a specific CLI user. This may be done by disabling the
password for a specific CLI user. Note, however, that there are some limitations to this
approach:

Passwords may not be disabled for root and ems users who are utilized by the
EMS server.

Passwords may be disabled only when the Synchronization of CLI and EMS
users option is turned off.
 To disable the password for a specific CLI user:
1. Connect to the CLI interface on the Active SC board. For more information, refer
to 'Command Line Interface' on page 107.
2. Login as root user. For more information, refer to 'Logging in as a Root User' on
page 115.
3. At the prompt, type tools user and press Enter. The CLI USER MANAGEMENT
menu is displayed.
