Configuring Username and Password Security

Saving Security Credentials in a Config File

Figure 2-6. Example of no include-credentials store-in-config Messages and Options

Local Manager and Operator Passwords

The information saved to the running-config file when the include-credentials

command is entered includes:

password manager [user-name <name>] <hash-type> <pass-hash>

password operator [user-name <name>] <hash-type> <pass-hash>

where

<name> is an alphanumeric string for the user name assigned to the

manager or operator.

<hash-type> indicates the type of hash algorithm used: SHA-1 or plain

text.

<pass-hash> is the SHA-1 authentication protocol’s hash of the pass-

word or clear ASCII text.

For example, a manager username and password may be stored in a running-

config file as follows:

HP Switch(config)# no include-credentials store-in-config

This will remove any switch passwords and inactive SSH authorized keys from all

configuration files. This will also restore the functionality to store only a

single set of passwords and authorized keys on the switch.

Do you want to continue (y/n)? y

The SSH authorized keys associated with the active configuration will be deleted.

Would you like to retain these as the switch global SSH authorized keys (y/n)? y

Do you want to set new switch passwords (y/n)? y

Operator username: admin

Operator password: ********

Confirm password: ********

Manager username: GeorgeV

Manager password: ********

Confirm password: ********

HP Switch(config)#

Setting new passwords for multiple usernames.
