Password Entry

Password entry is the same for all types of passwords you can enter on the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller. There are two methods of password entry:

  • You can use the parameter name with the mypass argument to enter your password directly into the system.
    ORACLE(snmp-user-entry)# auth-password mypass
  • You can use the parameter name and press Enter to access the Enter Password: prompt; from there, you can type your password, which does not echo on the screen. After you enter your password at this prompt, the Retype Password:appears and you can retype your password, which does not echo on the screen.
    ORACLE(snmp-user-entry)# auth-password
    Enter password: [Enter your password here and press Enter.]
    Retype password: [Re-enter your password here and press Enter.]
    Password updated

When you display configuration information containing passwords, only a series of asterisks (*) appears.
