Changing Password Types
Only with Manager T can you change from a variable password to a fixed password type and
vice versa. To do this, you have to re-initialize the country settings. This switches the entire
content of the customer database (including user names and passwords) to a default state.
If you perform country initialization in a system with a variable password, the previously created
user names and passwords remain intact as long as you do not subsequently change the password
type.
If a CDB is read from a system in which the default user names and passwords were changed,
this CDB cannot be loaded into a HiPath 3000/5000 system that was changed to a fixed password
type. Before reading this CDB, you have to set up a user (user name and password) in
the system that matches a user group with a fixed password. Once this user has been set up,
the CDB can be read from the HiPath 3000/5000. With this user name and ID, you can now
load the CDB into the system switched to the fixed password type.
