Configuring a Network Device collaborative Protection Profile for an Authorized Administrator
An account for root
is always present in a
configuration and is not intended for use in normal operation. In
the evaluated configuration, the root
account is restricted
to the initial installation and configuration of the evaluated device.
An NDcPP Version 2.2e authorized administrator must have all permissions, including the ability to change the device configuration.
To configure an authorized administrator:
The root password should be reset following the change
to sha256 / sha512 for the password storage format. This ensures the
new password is protected using a sha256 / sha512 hash, rather than
the default password hashing algorithm. To reset the root password,
use the set system root-authentication plain-text-password password
command, and confirm the new password when
prompted.
