Linuxadmin user configuration

OS10 supports two factory-default users: admin and linuxadmin. Use the admin user name to log in to the command-line interface. Use the linuxadmin user name to access the Linux shell.

To manage the default linuxadmin user from the CLI, you can:
  • Configure a lost or forgotten linuxadmin password.
  • Disable the linuxadmin user.
NOTE These tasks allow you to manage only the default linuxadmin user, not other Linux users created at the root level.

Configure linuxadmin password from CLI

To configure a password for the linuxadmin user, use the system-user linuxadmin password {clear-text-password | hashed-password} command in CONFIGURATION mode. Save the new password using the write memory command. For example:
OS10(config)# system-user linuxadmin password Dell@admin10!@
OS10(config)# exit 
OS10# write memory
OS10(config)# system-user linuxadmin password $6$3M55wOYy$Sw1V9Ok3GE4Hmf6h1ARH.dBHy9gpEFYUvdu15ZpnCYzt.nJjFm0VIz/rQvvJeX6krRtfYs2ZqBl6TkmLGAwtM
OS10(config)# exit 
OS10# write memory

The linuxadmin password configured from the CLI takes precedence across reboots over the password configured from the Linux shell.

Verify the linuxadmin password using the show running-configuration command.
OS10# show running-configuration
system-user linuxadmin password

Disable linuxadmin user

To disable or lock the linuxadmin user, use the system-user linuxadmin disable command in CONFIGURATION mode.
OS10(config)# system-user linuxadmin disable
To re-enable or unlock the linuxadmin user, use the no system-user linuxadmin disable command in CONFIGURATION mode.
OS10(config)# no system-user linuxadmin disable
