4.3.29.1 SET SECURITY

This command performs security-related actions, like setting the non-default root password for the OEDACLI session or controlling password-based authentication.

Prerequisites

Before you can use this command with the ENABLEPASSWORDLOGIN option, you must configure SSH key-based authentication on the target system. See DEPLOY SSHKEYS.

Syntax

SET SECURITY 
   PASSWORD=root_password

SET SECURITY 
   ENABLEPASSWORDLOGIN={ true | false } 
   [ HOSTNAMES="host1[,host2[,host3 ...]]" ]

Arguments

• PASSWORD: Specifies the non-default root password for the OEDACLI session
• ENABLEPASSWORDLOGIN: Specifies whether to enable or disable password-based authentication for the root user
• HOSTNAMES: Optionally specifies the list of host names on which to act

Usage Notes

If the HOSTNAMES argument is not specified, then the command acts on the currently loaded Engineered System XML file.
