Setting Super Password Control Parameters; Setting A Local User Password In Interactive Mode - HP 3600 v2 Series Configuration Manual

Step
5. Configure the password
composition policy for the
local user.

Setting super password control parameters

CLI commands fall into four levels: visit, monitor, system, and manage, in ascending order. Accordingly,
login users fall into four levels, each corresponding to a command level. A user of a certain level can only
use the commands at that level or lower levels.
To switch from a lower user level to a higher one, a user needs to enter a password for authentication.
This password is called a super password. For more information on super passwords, see Fundamentals
Configuration Guide.
To set super password control parameters:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Set the password aging time
for super passwords.
3. Configure the minimum length
for super passwords.
4. Configure the password
composition policy for super
passwords.

password.
To set a password for a local user in interactive mode:
