Specify User Login Credentials
User login credentials include a username and password.
Note: Two types of password encryption are supported, SHA-1 and MD5. Secure Hash Algorithms
(SHA) are cryptographic has functions structured differently and are distinguished by the appended
number, such as -1. Message-Digest Algorithm is a cryptographic has function that produces a 128
bit (16 byte) hash value.
username <userid> password <cleartext password>
username <userid> password 0 <cleartext password>
username <userid> password 7 <encrypted password>
username <userid> nopassword
[no] username <userid> disable
[no] username <userid> disable password
Control what it takes for the specified user to log in. The first three commands set a password on
the account.
• The 0 flavor allows the password to be specified in cleartext.
• The 7 flavor allows the password to be provided in the same encrypted form in which it would
be stored in the password file. This is useful for the
show configuration command, since
the cleartext password cannot be recovered after it is set. These two commands are thus named
for Cisco compatibility.
The
nopassword command means that no password is required to log in. The disable command
configures the account so that no one can log into that account.
The
disable password command leaves the account as a whole the same, but forbids login with
a password. It is assumed that ssh key access will be used instead. To re-enable the account, the user
must un-disable it, and put a password on it.
The
no username <userid> disable command prints a message to this effect; it only exists
to avoid stumping users with an apparently irreversible command.
Disabling a user account does not terminate any current sessions that user has open; it just prevents
new sessions from being established.
