Web interface login lockout

Requirement to accept the message of the day
If a message of the day (MOTD) is configured and the enable strict-password-enforcement
command is enabled, user is required to press the Enter key before he or she can login. MOTD is
configured using the banner motd command.
Brocade(config)# banner motd require-enter-key
Syntax: [no] banner motd require-enter-key
Web interface login lockout
The Web interface provides up to three login attempts. If a user fails to login after three attempts,
that user is locked out (disabled).
To re-enable a user that has been locked out, reboot the device to re-enable all disabled users.
NOTE
The Web Management Interface is only supported on the Brocade NetIron XMR and Brocade MLX
series devices.
Creating an encrypted all-numeric password
To create a password that is made up of all numeric values, use the command “username
user-string privilege privilege-level password password-string.” To allow backward compatibility with
the username command, the new keyword create-password has been created and it is used as
shown in the following.
Brocade# username customer1 create-password 9999
Syntax: [no] username user-string create-password password-string
The create-password option allows you to create a password with a numeric value in the
password-string variable. The generated password will be encrypted. The show running-config
command will display the password as shown.
username 8
NOTE
The create-password option is not supported when the strict-password-enforcement is in effect.
Granting access by time of day
To configure a Brocade device to restrict access to a specified user to a specified time of day, use
the following command.
Brocade(config)# username admin1 access-time 10:00:00 to 13:00:00
Syntax: [no] username user-string access-time hh:mm:ss to hh:mm:ss
The user-string variable specifies the user that you want to limit access time for.
