> ## Configuring Authentication for SRC User Accounts

> ## 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
