Connectivity Guide

Default
• User name and password entries are in clear text.
• There is no default user role.
Command Mode CONFIGURATION
Usage Information
• By default, the password must be at least nine alphanumeric characters. Only the following special characters
are supported:
! # % & ' ( ) ; < = > [ ] * + - . / : ^ _
Enter the password in clear text. It is converted to SHA-512 format in the running conguration. For backward
compatibility with OS10 releases 10.3.1E and earlier, passwords entered in MD-5, SHA-256, and SHA-512 format
are supported.
•
To increase the required password strength, use the password-attributes command.
• You cannot assign a privilege level higher than privilege level 1 to a user with the netoperator role and below
and privilege level 2 for a sysadmin, secadmin, and netadmin roles.
• The no version of this command deletes authentication for a user.
Example
OS10(config)# username user05 password newpwd404 role sysadmin
OS10(config)# username user07 password paSsw0$d role netadmin priv-lvl 10
Supported Releases 10.2.0E or laterIntroduced the priv-lvl command on OS10 release 10.4.3.0 or later
username sshkey
Enables SSH password-less login using the public key for a remote client. The remote client is not prompted to enter a password.
Syntax
username user_name sshkey sshkey_string
Parameters
• user_name — Enter the user name of the remote client. This value is the user name congured with the username
password role command.
• sshkey_string — Enter the public key used by the remote client device to log in to the OS10 switch.
Default
The default SSH server keys are an RSA key generated using 2048 bits, an ECDSA key with 256 bits, and an Ed2559 key with
256 bits.
Command Mode CONFIGURATION
Usage Information
Locate the public keys on a remote client in the ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub le. Use the public key as the sshkey_string
parameter.
The no username user_name sshkey command removes the SSH password-less conguration for a specied user
name.
To congure multiple user names for SSH password-less login, use the username sshkey filename command.
Example
OS10(config)# username user10 sshkey abcd
