Legacy security policy - Chassis Management Module

The CMM Legacy security policy is the least secure and most flexible setting that is available for your configuration.

The Legacy level of management software security policy provides flexibility in managing the chassis infrastructure, but this policy is the least secure. It permits the use of the following conditions:

Weaker password policies for CMM user accounts
Note: For more information about the default password policy settings for the Legacy security policy, see Legacy user account policy settings.
No requirement that passwords for user accounts be changed at first login
Availability of all communication protocols, both secure and unencrypted

You can select the Legacy security policy by using the CMM web interface or the CMM CLI.

Note: The compute node system-management processors need to be reset when changing the security policy. The compute node web interface indicates Flex System Enterprise Chassis components that must be restarted for security policy changes to take effect.

In the web interface, select Security from the Mgt Module Management menu; then, on the Security Policies page use the slider bar to select Legacy, and click Apply. All fields and options are fully described in the CMM web interface online help.
In the CMM CLI, use the security -p legacy command (see security command for information about command use).

Note: You cannot access the CMM CLI through Telnet while using the Secure security policy setting.
