Comware

Hi

I am new to HP devices and therefor new to this forum. I am looking for the full commands to enable and set login credentials for the web interface on the HP5920 switch.

I have searched the web but only managed to find how to enable the web gui which I've done but am unable to login to it.

Thank you in anticipation.

try this

system-view
 local-user <username> class manage
 password simple <password>
 service-type ftp
 service-type ssh telnet terminal http https
 authorization-attribute user-profile admin
 authorization-attribute user-role network-admin

you may wish to set only:

service-type ssh http https 

Hi Borislav

Thank you for the very quick reply.

I have tried these commands and ecountered this error;

[HP5900-SW5]local-user admin
[HP5900-SW5-luser-manage-admin]class manage password simple **********
^
% Unrecognized command found at '^' position.

keep the inline as above:

local-user <username> class manage 
#on one line and
password simple ******
#on the next line

Hi Borislav

I have managed to login to the web interface now. Many many thanks.

I have just 3 more questions;

1. If I reset the password on the CLI login does this also change the web interface login or is this a seperate password?

2. How do you view the login password aging time in the CLI?

3. I know this is all down to experience but does HP actually publish all this information because I could not find it anywhere.

Thank you once again.

1. If I reset the password on the CLI login does this also change the web interface login or is this a seperate password?

- you'll be reseting the password based on the username, not for a CLI or WEB 

2. How do you view the login password aging time in the CLI?

 - I'm not quite sure what you are will to do with password aging, but I'll strongly advise agains it - unless you have set the date and time correctly and you are sure what you are doing. However you may consult with the "R23xx-HP 5920 & 5900 Security Configuration Guide" (see below)

3. I know this is all down to experience but does HP actually publish all this information because I could not find it anywhere.

 - Of course HPE does it, but I have to admit, might be a change to find what you are looking for through google, although to be fair, it is getting better lately. 

Go to: https://www.hpe.com/us/en/support.html  and select = > My Networking Portal => search for e.g. 5920 => select the Switch from the list and then [Show selected items] on the bottom right you'll get a list with only useful links about this product. => click on Support center (For manuals, FAQs, etc.) and you'll find in the [Manuals] tab all the documents HPE has published about this product.

Hi

Currently the password aging is set to 365 days but I want to remove this, so password aging is disabled.

Thank you

Hi Borislav

I have managed to undo the password aging and set it to disabled.

Thank you very much for taking the time to help me.
