How to Add a User with an MD5 Encrypted Password Entered as an MD5 Encrypted String
From the SCE(config)# prompt, type:
Defining the User Privilege Level
Privilege level authorization in the Cisco SCE platform is accomplished by the use of an "
enable
"
command authentication request. When a user requests an authorization for a specified privilege level,
by using the "
enable
" command, the Cisco SCE platform sends an authentication request to the
server specifying the requested privilege level. The Cisco SCE platform grants the requested
privilege level only after the server authenticates the "
enable
" command password and
verifies that the user has sufficient privileges the enter the requested privilege level.
Options
The following options are available:
•
name—
Name of the user whose privilege level is set
•
level—
The privilege level permitted to the specified user. These levels correspond to the CLI
authorization levels, which are entered via the
enable
command:
–
0—User
–
10—Admin
–
15 (default)—Root
From the SCE(config)# prompt, type:
Adding a New User with Privilege Level and Password
Use these commands to define a new user, including password and privilege level, in a single command.
Note
In the config files (
running config
and
startup config
), this command will appear as two separate
commands.
