Rename ISE Admin Account

[kevink707]

Can the ISE CLI account "admin" be renamed?

Internal scanners checking for default passwords keep locking out the admin account.  Any reason the admin account can't be renamed so the scanner no longer hits it?  (Yes, I have created a secondary accounts so I don't get completely locked out).

Hi

It's like any CLI username where you need to remove admin account and create a new one like you did.

You can just disabled the account lockout.  In the Admin Access section of the GUI you can disable lockout.  I go over this with customers on every install where they want to use admin as the backdoor account.
