Passwords
Passwords can be any combination of up to eight alphanumeric characters. You can
enter longer passwords, but the entries are truncated to include only the first eight
characters. Passwords can be set from the Service Processor menu or from the System
Management Services menus.
For security purposes, the service processor counts the number of attempts to enter
correct passwords. The results of not recognizing a correct password within this error
threshold are different, depending on whether the attempts are being made locally (at
the system) or remotely (through a modem). The error threshold is three attempts.
If the error threshold is reached by someone entering passwords at the system, the
service processor exits the menus. This action is taken based on the assumption that
the system is in an adequately secure location with only authorized users having
access. Such users must still successfully enter a login password to access AIX.
If the error threshold is reached by someone entering passwords remotely, the service
processor disconnects the modem to prevent potential security attacks on the server by
unauthorized remote users.
