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
- 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 Lenovo Flex System
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.
