The Security screen is used to change the admin password for both local and remote access. SSH password authentication is also enabled or disabled via this screen.
Procedure 5.5. Change Security Configuration
  1. Enable SSH Password Authentication

    To enable SSH password authentication for remote access select the Enable ssh password authentication option and press Space to toggle it to enabled.

    Important — SSH Password Authentication is not Supported

    SSH password authentication is disabled by default and is not supported unless enabled at the request of Red Hat support.
  2. Change admin Password

    1. Enter the desired admin password in the Password field. You should use a strong password.
      Strong passwords contain a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numeric and punctuation characters. They are six or more characters long and do not contain dictionary words.
    2. Enter the desired admin password in the Confirm Password field. Ensure that the value entered in the Confirm Password field matches the value entered in the Password field exactly. Where this is not the case an error message will be displayed to indicate that the two values are different.
  3. Select <Apply> and press Enter to save the security configuration.
  4. Result:
    The security configuration has been updated.
