User Management

You can create and maintain a database on the switch to manage web platform users.

Context

User management includes creating a local user account (web platform user with the access type HTTP) and modifying or deleting existing user accounts.

By default, a local user named admin exists in the system. The user password is admin@huawei.com, and access type is HTTP.

NOTE:

A simple password brings security risks. It is recommended that you change the password to a complicated one after logging in to the web network management system using the default account. A password should consist of at least 8 characters, and contain at least two types of the following: lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numerals, special characters (such as ! $ # %). The password cannot contain spaces and single quotation marks ('). In addition, the password cannot be the same as the user name or the mirror user name.

To ensure device security, change the password periodically.
