Last Updated : Dec 27, 2021 |

About this task

Use this procedure to change the password for the cust account in local Linux. The local Linux cust account provides remote access to the Linux shell.

Note:

If you require a greater level of security for this account, see Creating a new User Management administrator account and removing the default cust account from User Management.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the AE Services Management Console as a cust user.
  2. On the main menu, click Security > Account Management  > Modify Login.
  3. On the Modify Login page, do the following:

    • In the Login ID field, type cust, and click Continue.

    • In the Enter password field, type a new password.

    The default Linux password policy, which is based on a US standard keyboard and the default password limits for PAM Module Configuration, calls for a minimum of 14 characters, with at least 1 uppercase character, 1 lowercase character, 1 alphanumeric character, and 1 special character. The following characters are not permitted: pound (#), dollar ($), apostrophe (’), double quotes ("), backslash (\), space, and any ASCII control character.

  4. In the Re-enter password field, type the new password again.
  5. Click Apply.
