Managing your own account

Prev Next

Users in all roles can manage their own accounts in the following ways:

  • Change their passwords:

  • Install secure shell (SSH) authorized keys that permit them to log in from remote hosts using an SSH identity.

  • Create and manage SSH identities that permit them to log in to another host on which the corresponding authorized key was installed.

  • Remove SSH known host entries so they can log in to remote hosts whose host keys have changed.

  • Restrict the ways they can log in locally.

  • View their account information, including when their password will expire and whether they authenticate using a password or an SSH authorized key.

You can use the Web UI (if your appliance has one) to change your password. You can use the CLI to change your password and perform the other account management functions available to you.
