This section discusses how to issue user passwords.
Related Information
See the newpass and set user commands in the Digi One/PortServer TS Command Reference.
Starting Point
This procedure assumes that you have signed on as root and already configured the user to whom
you will be issuing a password.
Procedure
1. Issue a newpass command that identifies the user (on the name field) to whom this password will
be issued.
2. When the system prompts you for a new password, type in the password and then press Enter.
3. When the system prompts you to enter the new password again, type it in and then press Enter.
Example
In this example, the newpass command initiates a dialog with PortServer TS 8/16 that results in the
user being assigned a password.
newpass name=edm1001
