908.0. "ATMswitch 900F asks for username after password enable" by HLFS00::ESSER_W (Wim Esser) Wed Apr 16 1997 08:57

A customer has installed a ATMswitch 900F and wanted to set a
password. After doing password_enable and password_set the 
ATMswitch is asking for a username when he is connecting to the 
ATMswitch with a TELNET session.
After this he had to go back to factory defaults.

I pointed him to the command 'iam' and 'whoami'.

First he did a whoami on which the responce was anonymous.
Than he used iam to modify username and password and after this
the responce on whoami was the new username. He disconnecte and 
connected the TELNET session but is not able to login. Old and new
username are not accepted.

Has anyone an idee what goes wrong ????

greetings

    There are really only two accounts which  work for
    telnet password protection.   
    
    First I'll describe the commands you tried - the "user" account.
    The password_set command modifies the password for account, "user".   
    (it doesn't matter what "whoami" returns or what was set with "iam" ).
    
    So, try this, where user entries are identified by " " (don't type
    in the quotes): 
    
    	ATMswitch-> "password_set"
    		Changing password for user
    
    		Old password: "username"
    
    		This operation .... 
    		Do you want to continue this operation, y or n? (n): "y"
    
    		Enter new password: "whatever"
    		Verify: "whatever"
    
    
    		User account password updated and committed to flash storag
    
    Note, the password above, "username", assumes the default
    user password was in affect.  "whatever" is the new password used for
    example.   Via Telnet, you should then see:
    
    	ATMswitch login:  "user"
    	Password: "whatever"
    
    	ATMswitch->
    
    You should be logged in...
    Note the manual isn't clear that the account name you have to
    use is "user".   Also, the default password is "username" and
    this isn't given in the manual, or is incorrect, depending on
    where you look.   
    
    There is one other account called "manager" which can be used for
    telnet with password protection.  The default password for this is
    "managername".   The password can be changed only using the
    menu commands (vs command line interface, described above).
    
    The password_set command only changes the user password, while
    the password_enable command turns protection on for both accounts.
    See page 2-20 of the ATMswitch900 management guide (Jan, 1997)
    
    The menu commands allow changing both account passwords, see pg 3-36.
    
    Again - the default passwords in the manual are wrong.
