Password Enforcement Options
ETEP CLI User Guide 19
The strong password controls are enforced on any password that is entered after strong password
enforcement is enabled. Existing user accounts can continue to use their old passwords, and the accounts
retain their default password expiration settings until the user is modified in strong password mode.
Enabling strong password enforcement restarts the SSH daemon, closing any open SSH connections. It
can take up to 30 seconds to establish an SSH connection after enabling strong passwords.
When the ETEP is switched from strong to default password controls, users’ password expiration settings
are reset to the default values listed in
Table 3 .
To change the password controls:
1 Enter user configuration mode.
admin> configure
config> user-config
user-config>
2 Set the password controls by configuring the password-enforcement command. Attributes are
described in Table 4 .
password-enforcement {default | strong}
Example
This example enables strong password controls.
user-config>

Cautions for Strong Password Enforcement
The password expiration feature puts you at risk for a lockout under certain circumstances. Review the
guidelines below to avoid unintended lockouts.
CAUTION
If the Administrators’ passwords expire, all Administrator functionality is lost, including the ability to assign
a new password. The only means of resetting the password is to reformat the ETEP, which reverts all
configurations to their default shipping settings. Reformatting the ETEP requires factory service.
