Configuration through the web interface

Disable password authentication
Password authentication can be disabled as needed.
In the web interface:
1 On the Main menu, click Security.
2 On the Security Configuration page, check the Enable password authentication
check box.
3 Click Apply.
From the command line:
Issue a newpass command with a zero-length password.
Change the password for administrative user
To increase security, change the password for the administrative user from its default. By
default, the administrative username is root.
Note
Record the new password. If the changed password is lost, the Digi device
must be reset to the default firmware settings.
In Digi devices with a single-user model, changing the root password also changes the
password for Advanced Digi Discovery Protocol (ADDP). In Digi devices with the multi-
user model, changing the root password has no effect on ADDP. To change the ADDP
password, use enter newpass name=addp from the command line.
In the web interface:
1 On the Main menu, click Security.
2 On the Security Configuration page, enter the new password in the New
Password and Confirm Password edit boxes. The password can be from
4 through 16 characters long and is case-sensitive. Click Apply.
3 A logoff is forced immediately. Log in to the web interface using the new values.
From the command line:
Issue the newpass command.
