Management Security
Only two users are available on the appliance: admin user and support user. These two user accounts are used to access the appliance based on the requirement.
Only admin login is available for the appliance. The password policy of admin login is modified to prompt the user to change the password on the first login.
See Password policies for Resiliency Platform virtual appliance.
If the admin user password is lost, you need to contact Veritas support for resetting the admin user password.
On successful completion of the product bootstrap, admin user can only access a limited menu of commands through klish. Besides admin user, support user is also supported in the appliance but remote login of support user is disabled. To access the support user, one need to login as an admin and go through klish. An option support > shell is provided in the klish menu to switch the user to support and access the bash shell of support. After selecting this option, the support user is given superuser privileges. Using this option is not recommended and it should be used only with the assistance of technical support.
Timeout of the bash shells of all users is set to 900 seconds.
