Changing account parameters
This procedure can be performed on local user accounts.
When changing account parameters, if you change the ADlist for the user account, all of the currently
active sessions for that account will be logged out. For more information about changing the Admin
Domain on an account, see Chapter 7, ” Managing administrative domains ” on page 191.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Enter the following command:
userconfig --change username -r rolename [-h LF_ID | adminDomain_ID]
[-l logicalFabric_ID_list] [-a adminDomain_ID_list] [-d description] [-x]
[-e yes | no] [-u]
Local account passwords
The following rules apply to changing passwords:
• Users can change their own passwords.
• Only users with Admin roles can change the password for another account. When changing an Admin
account password, you must provide the current password.
username
Specifies the account name, which must begin with an
alphabetic character. The name can be from 8 to 40 characters
long. It is case-sensitive and can contain alphabetic and
numeric characters, the period (.) and the underscore ( _ ). It
must be different from all other account names on the Logical
Switch. The account name cannot be the same as a role name.
-r rolename
Specifies the role: User, SwitchAdmin, ZoneAdmin,
FabricAdmin, BasicSwitchAdmin, Operator, or Admin in
nonsecure mode; in secure mode you can also use
NonfcsAdmin.
-h logicalFabric_ID
or
adminDomain_ID
Optional: Specifies either the home Logical Fabric or
Administrative Domain. If no Logical Fabric or Administrative
Domain is specified, the lowest numbered Logical Fabric or
Administrative Domain in the list is assigned.
-l logicalFabric_ID_list
Optional: Specifies which Logical Fabric the user may access; if
no Logical Fabrics are listed, the user is automatically assigned
to LF128 or the lowest Logical Fabric they belong to. Use
comma-separated lists, ranges, or both for example: -l
1,9,10-15,244.
-a adminDomain_ID_list
Optional: Specifies which Administrative Domains the user may
access; if no Administrative Domains are listed, the user is
automatically assigned to AD0. Use comma-separated lists,
ranges, or both for example -a 0,9,10-15,244.
-d description
Optional: Adds a description to the account. The description
field can be up to 40 printable ASCII characters long. The
following characters are not allowed: asterisk (*), single
quotation mark (‘), quotation mark (“), exclamation point (!),
semicolon (;), and colon (:).
-x
Specifies an expired password that must be changed the first
time the user logs in.
-e yes|no
Enables or disables an account. Specify
yes
to enable or
no
to
disable an account. Once an account is disabled, the
command line interface sessions associated with the account
are terminated.
-u
Unlocks the specified user account. User accounts can get
locked after several attempts to log in with an invalid password.
