Username creation in Cisco NCS - Error

[akshaypb6]

Hi Team,

I was trying to create a new username in the existing NCS router node.

I am trying to use the secret 5 encryption method .

While committing it is throwing me this error.

"!!% 'LOCALD' detected the 'fatal' condition 'Password is invalid or incorrect'"

The script used is 

username test
group root-lr
group cisco-support
secret 5 test123
!

And how can i give the password in encrypted mode .?

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:(config-un)#secret 5 ?
LINE
WORD The encrypted user password string

Thanks in advance

not sure what is the code and device here : worth looking below :

https://community.cisco.com/t5/xr-os-and-platforms/ncs-5500-downgrade-with-dual-rp/td-p/4130724

or in general  try secret XXXXX should work i guess here.

Hi Balaji,

Thanks for the details.

As mentioned in the link, i am also observing the same issue .

The Node model is NCS55A2

Version : 6.5.2

Requirement is like I need to create a new local login user credentials with secret 5 encryption.

The script i used is 

config t

username test
group root-lr
group cisco-support
secret 5 test123
!

When I am giving the secret 5 password in the clear text, it showing the error.

% Failed to commit one or more configuration items during a pseudo-atomic operation. All changes made have been reverted.
!! SEMANTIC ERRORS: This configuration was rejected by

username test

secret 5 test123
!!% 'LOCALD' detected the 'fatal' condition 'Password is invalid or incorrect'

Also, While giving the password it is asking for encrypted password.

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:uhn2kl2dctk3rc01(config-un)# secret 5 ?
LINE
WORD The encrypted user password string

Thanks in advance
