Changing the Password of the Default User Account
The default user account provides complete access to all features of the Citrix
NetScaler SDX appliance. Therefore, to preserve security, the nsroot account should be
used only when necessary, and only individuals whose duties require full access should
know the password for the nsroot account. Citrix recommends changing the nsroot
password frequently. If you lose the password, you can reset the password to the
default by reverting the appliance settings to factory defaults , and you can then
change the password.
You can change the password of the default user account in the Users pane. In the
Users pane, you can view the following details:
Name
Lists the user accounts configured on the SDX appliance.
Permission
Displays the permission level assigned to the user account.
To change the password of the default user account
1. On the Configuration tab, in the navigation pane, expand System, and then click
Users.
2. In the Users pane, click the default user account, and then click Modify.
3. In the Modify System User dialog box, in Password and Confirm Password, enter
the password of your choice.
4. Click OK.
