Adding a User

To add a new user, use the following configurations:

configure
  smiuser add-user username username password password
  exit 

Notes:

  • smiuser add-user - Adds a new local user.

  • username username - Specifies the name of the user.

    username must be alphanumeric string.
  • password password - Specifies the password. The password must meet the following criteria:

    • Minimum 8 characters in length.

    • Contain at least one lowercase character.

    • Contain at least one uppercase character.

    • Contain at least one numeric character.

    • Contain at least one special character, which includes the following:

      • [ '~', '@', '#', '%', '^', '&', '*', '(', ')', '_', '+', '`', '-', '=', '{', '}', '[', ']', ':', '"', ';', '\'', '|', '<', '>', '?', ',', '.', '/', '$']

      • Password must not start with '$'.

    • Password must not be too simplistic or based on dictionary word.

    • Do not re-use passwords.

      Use the following command to configure the number of passwords to keep in history:

      password requisite pam_pwhistory.so debug enforce_for_root remember=12
    • Minimum number of days that are allowed between password changes is seven.

The following example adds a new user called 'user1' and assigns the password for the new user.

cee# configure terminal
  smiuser add-user username user1 password Cisco@123
message User added

The following example adds a new user called 'user2' and assigns the password for the new user.

cee# configure terminal
  smiuser add-user username user2 password Cisco@12345
message User added

In the following example, when an existing user name (user2) is added as a new user, the Ops Center displays an error message.

cee# configure terminal
  smiuser add-user username user2 password Cisco@12345
message User already exists
