Revision as of 09:59, 16 July 2014

If you need to set the admin account and password using the command line (e.g. in an update script), you can use the config add /user account,password function. The syntax is the same since firmware V5.

example configuring via the browser:

x.x.x.x/!config change CMD0 /user admin,ip230
x.x.x.x/!config activate

From this point on, the new account settings are active. Admin passwords of the innovaphone devices are stored in a hidden fashion so it can not be retrieved. However, if you use this configuration option, the accoutn and password information is practically available in clear text in the confgi change CMD0 ... line.

To remove this clear text information from the configuration file, you need to perform some additional commands:

x.x.x.x/!config rem CMD0 /user
x.x.x.x/!config activate

Please note that there is no need to save the configuration to flash (i.e. perform a config write operation). However, if you have done a save to flash after setting the /user option, then you also need to save it after removing it with config rem.
