Configuring Authentication for SRC User Accounts

You can configure user accounts by using the following methods:

• Configuring a Plain Text Password
• Configuring SSH Authentication

Configuring a Plain Text Password

To configure a plain text password for a user account:

• At the [edit system user user-name ] hierarchy, enter the set authentication plain text-password command. For example:

  [edit system user JASmith]

  user@host# set authentication plain-text-password

  New password: type password here

  Retype new password: retype password here

Configuring SSH Authentication

Before you configure SSH authentication, obtain the contents of SSH key files. You can copy the contents of an SSH keys file into a CLI session:

1. On a management machine such as a PC or personal workstation, create an ssh-rsa key:

   > ssh-keygen

   (provide input)

   > cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

2. On the C-series Controller enter the set system login user testuser authentication ssh-authorized-key command, and paste in the SSH key:

   user@host# set system login user testuser authentication ssh-authorized-key “ pasted content of id_rsa.pub ”

   For example:

   user@host# set system login user testuser authentication ssh-authorized-key "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAIEAvSqAWNdMTQJS9eqG1eq
