Deleting the default admin accounts on Nexus7k Admin VDC and Customer VDC

[sreeraj.murali]

Hi Experts,

After Security vulnerability scan, we had been asked to delete the below user accounts from Nexus 7k VDC.

admin(with role vdc-admin) from Customer VDC instance.

admin(with role network-admin) from Admin VDC.

We have TACACS configured for domain based login. Please suggest if we can delete/rename existing VDC Admin user accounts from Admin VDC and Customer VDC instance. Also suggest the Cisco documentation which explains this.

Thanks

Can someone advice please?

Sending a follow up request for assistance 4 hours after the original post is very quick for a forum that depends on volunteers to respond to questions. If you need responses that quickly then you should purchase a maintenance contract and open a case with Cisco TAC.

I do not know of any approach that would be successful in renaming the account. You should be able in TACACS to delete that account and then to create a new account (with a different ID) which has the same access privileges. You would also want to delete the account on the Nexus and to create the equivalent ID with similar privileges.
