You can change the user passwords for each user profile in Access Management.
Before you begin
- You must be logged in as the local administrator, which includes Root admin permissions.
- You must know the local administrator password.
About this task
Keep these guidelines in mind when choosing a password:
- Any new local user passwords must meet or exceed the current setting for a minimum password (in View/Edit Settings).
- Passwords are case sensitive.
- Trailing spaces are not stripped from passwords when they are set. Be careful to include spaces if they were included in the password.
- For increased security, use at least 15 alphanumeric characters and change the password frequently.
Note: Changing the password in System Manager also changes it in the command line interface (CLI). In addition, password changes cause the user's active session to terminate.
Procedure
- Select .
- Select the Local User Roles tab.
- Select a user from the table.
The Change Password button becomes available.
- Select Change Password.
The Change Password dialog box opens.
- If no minimum password length is set for local user passwords, you can check the box to require the selected user to enter a password to access the storage array, and then you can type the new password for the selected user.
- Enter your local administrator password, and then click Change.
Result
If the user is currently logged in, the password change causes the user's active session to terminate.
