Cisco Prime SSH

[Karl Wilson]

Hi Guys,

I have been asked to permit another user ssh access to the prime CLI (Prime 3.9) but only Admin permits this. I have tried to make a new local user and i just selected all options as a test but i still get access denied when trying to ssh to the prime box. Does anyone know how to allow this?

WebGui admin and command level admin are different. ( never tried adding new user in cli anotehr admin, since we use external authentication, only use admin as fall back)

But loging to command level

try below :

config t

username balajibandi password hash TestingPI123$$$ role network-admin

 - What command did you try - should look like something like this (from config mode) : 

(config) username username password role {admin|user} password

Thanks both. I have created a new user in the cli like the examples above. Tried Network admin, sec admin and even user. The user previously used this in 3.6 to configure AP's via a script.

Got it now guys, my password needed to be longer to match the security requirements.

yes 3.9 be strict depends on what policy you have, you can change show run ( you can view that policy, glad all good)
