devices. Instead, the SNMP read Access Community password is required for monitoring the
Maintenance Switch, and both the SNMP Read Access Community and SNMP Write Access
Community passwords are required to start monitoring the UPS. These passwords are established
the administrator during initial configuration of the device. The default password for SNMP Read
Access Community is “public”; The default password for SNMP Write Access Community is
“private.”
The Identification Information attribute of the UPS is no longer displayed.
Migration Considerations
If a Maintenance Switch or UPS has been configured in a prior version of OSM, the OSM Access
Community Names will not be available. OSM will attempt to access it with the default values of
“public” for read access and “private” for Write access. If these are not the values with which the
device has been configured, the device will be displayed as “Down.” To recover, do one of the
following:
• Stop monitoring, and restart monitoring with the correct values.
• Change the values to the defaults by opening a Telnet session to the device and rediscovering
the device in OSM.
For more information and instructions, see Appendix E of the OSM Migration and Configuration
Guide.
Safeguard Password Quality Enhancements
The T6533H04^ABM and later versions of Standard Security and the T9750H04^AFC and later
versions of Safeguard, initially released with the H06.09 RVU, provide these additional password
enhancements:
• Option to enforce certain rules governing user or alias passwords
• Use of embedded spaces in user or alias passwords
The following new attributes are introduced:
DescriptionAttribute
When set to ON, passwords must contain at least one uppercase
character.
PASSWORD-UPPERCASE-REQUIRED
When set to ON, passwords must contain at least one lowercase
character.
PASSWORD-LOWERCASE-REQUIRED
When set to ON, passwords must contain at least one numeric
character.
PASSWORD-NUMERIC-REQUIRED
When set to ON, passwords must contain at least one special
character (any nonalphanumeric character except for commas, double
quotes, or semicolons).
PASSWORD-SPECIALCHAR-REQUIRED
When set to ON, passwords may optionally contain embedded
spaces.
PASSWORD-SPACES-ALLOWED
Specifies the minimum number of quality criteria that must be met
when a password is set or changed. Valid values are 0 through 4.
PASSWORD-MIN-QUALITY-REQUIRED
The password quality attributes are disabled by default, and must be explicitly enabled through
SAFECOM (if Safeguard is running) or by using the PWCONFIG command. The password quality
attributes take effect only if the PASSWORD-ENCRYPT attribute is set to ON and the
PASSWORD-ALGORITHM attribute is set to HMAC256. In addition, for
PASSWORD-SPACES-ALLOWED to take effect, PASSWORD-COMPATIBILITY-MODE must be set
to OFF.
