Changing the default password for the cust account in User Management

Last Updated : Dec 20, 2021 |

About this task

This topic applies only to an AE Services Software-Only server with the Avaya Services package (cs-services) installed.

AE Services installs the cust account in two locations — in the local Linux password store and in the User Management service (local LDAP directory).

Note:

If you require a greater level of security for this account, see Creating a new System Administrator account.

Procedure

  1. From your browser, log in to the AE Services Management Console as cust with the default password.

    See Accounts installed with the Avaya Services package.

  2. From the main menu, select User Management > List All Users.
  3. From the List All Users page, select the option button for cust and click Edit.
  4. Update the password settings as follows:
    1. In the New Password field, enter a new password.

      The default User Management password policy, which is based on a US standard keyboard, calls for a minimum of 8 characters, including a minimum of 1 uppercase, 1 lowercase, 1 alphanumeric, and 1 special character. The following characters are not permitted: pound (#), dollar ($), apostrophe (’), double quotes ("), backslash (\), space, and any ASCII control character.

    2. In the Confirm New Password field, re-enter the new password.
  5. Click Apply.
