clear system password
Enterasys C3 Configuration Guide 5-15
Defaults
All the parameters are optional, but at least one must be entererd with the command.
Mode
Switch command, super user.
Usage
If the require-at-creation option is enabled with this command, the set system login command
will interactively prompt for a password upon creation of a new user account. It will be as if a set
password username command was implicitly executed. The new account will not be successfully
created until a valid password has been specified. A password will not be solicited if an encrypted
password is already specified by way of the set system login command's password option.
If the substring-match-len option is set to zero, no substring matching will be performed when
validating new passwords. If the substring-match-len option is configured with a nonzero length,
any substring of the specified length appearing in the current password for this user may not
appear in a new password.
If the configured history size is nonzero, then all historical passwords up to that size will also be
compared with the input of the new password. Any substring of the configured length appearing
in any of the historical passwords may not be used in the new password.
A password change-frequency interval of zero means there is no restriction on the frequency of
password changes.
Examples
This example shows how to set the minimum system password length to 10 characters:
C3(su)->set system password length 10
This example shows how to set the system password age time to 45 days:
C3(su)->set system password aging 45
This example shows how to configure the system to check the last 10 passwords for duplication
C3(su)->set system password history 10
clear system password
Use this command to reset the system password parameters to default values.
