Change an Oracle ILOM User's Password or Role (Oracle ILOM CLI)

When Oracle ILOM users are initially created, you assign them a password and roles that govern their privileges. On occasion, a user might need to have roles or the password changed. For example, if a user changes jobs within your company, the roles might also need to change. You can change an Oracle ILOM user's password and roles at any time without having to delete and recreate the user account.


Note -  To change the root user's password, refer to Switch Administration, changing the root user's password.
  • Change the Oracle ILOM user's configuration.
    -> set /SP/users/user password=password role=role
    

    where:

    • username is the user account name.

    • password is the new password.

    • role is the new role for the user.

    For the role, you can use the characters of the aucros string to enable the respective abilities. See User Roles and Permissions.


    Note -  You can change the user password and role independently.

    For example, to change the password for the testuser user, type:

    -> set /SP/users/testuser password=knockknock
    Changing password for user /SP/users/testuser...
    Enter new password again: **********
    New password was successfully set for user /SP/users/testuser
    ->
    

    Caution

    Caution  -  With this task, it is also possible for the user to reset the root user password, should it be lost or forgotten. The user must use the USB management port to reset the root user password.
