Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
user-name	Specifies a user name.	The value is a string of 1 to 64 characters. It cannot contain spaces, asterisk, double quotation mark and question mark. NOTE: During local authentication or authorization, run the authentication-mode { local \| local-case } or authorization-mode { local \| local-case } command to configure case sensitivity for user names. If the parameter is set to local, user names are case-insensitive. If the parameter is set to local-case, user names are case-sensitive. Note the following when configuring case sensitivity for user names: Only the user name is case-sensitive and the domain name is case-insensitive. For user security purposes, you cannot configure multiple local users with the user names that differ only in uppercase or lowercase. For example, after configuring ABC, you cannot configure Abc or abc as the user name. When a device is upgraded from V200R011C10 or an earlier version to a version later than V200R011C10, all local user names in the original configuration file are saved in lowercase. When a configuration file that is manually configured or generated using the third-party tool is used for configuration restoration, local user names that differ only in uppercase or lowercase are considered as one user name and the first one among these local user names is used.
password	Specifies the password.	The value is a string of case-sensitive characters without spaces. By default, the value is a string of 8 to 128 characters or 48 to 188 characters. You can enter a password in plain text or cipher text. The password is displayed in cipher text in the configuration file regardless of whether the password is input in plain or cipher text. The password in plain text is a string of 8 to 128 characters. The password in cipher text is a string of 48 to 188 characters. The password in cipher text cannot be generated using the irreversible algorithm. The newly configured password cannot be the default password admin@huawei.com of local users.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

After creating an AS administrator profile, you can configure an AS administrator in the profile, including the user name and password. After the profile is bound to an AS, the user name and password for login are automatically configured on the AS. The following configuration is generated on the AS:

#
aaa
 local-user user-name password irreversible-cipher password
 local-user user-name privilege level 3
 local-user user-name service-type terminal ssh
#

After an AS user name and password are configured, you need to enter the correct user name and password when logging in to an AS through the console port. When you log in to an AS from the parent using the attach as name as-name command, you can log in to the AS without entering the user name or password.

Precautions

When no AS user name and password are configured, you need to enter the default password admin@huawei.com when logging in to an AS through the console port.

The default password has security risks. You are advised to change the login password.

Example
