Securing Communications Between the Juniper Networks Database and SRC Components with the SRC CLI

Communications between SRC components and the Juniper Networks database use password authentication. You can change the default passwords for the following software components to ensure that communications are secure.

• SRC CLI
• NIC
• Configuration for SRC components other than the CLI and the NIC

To change a user password:

user@host>request system ldap change-component-password 
component-name new-password new-password

where component-name is:

• cli—Specifies communication between the SRC CLI and the database
• conf—Specifies communication about configuration
• nic—Specifies communication between NIC components and the database
