When you change a password in VSP One SDS Block Administrator

In VSP One SDS Block Administrator, you can change a password when you log in for the first time or when the password has expired.

You can change a password in the change password window that is displayed by clicking the login button. For the procedure and details, see the following in the VSP One SDS Block Administrator User Guide.

  • Logging in to and logging out of the VSP One SDS Block Administrator

  1. Change your own password.

    Run either of the following commands with the user ID, current password, and new password specified.

    REST API: PATCH /v1/objects/users/<userId>/password

    CLI: user_password_set

    After running the command, you receive a response indicating user information.

    The changed password has an expiration time. You can confirm the expiration time from the user information that is displayed as a result of running the command. The default expiration time is 42 days.

  2. (Bare metal) Back up the configuration information.

    Perform this step by referring to Backing up the configuration information (Bare metal).

    If you continue operations with other procedures, you must back up the configuration information after you have completed all operations.

    CAUTION:

    When changing the password of the user issuing the authentication ticket, issue an authentication ticket again after the change.

    Note:
    • If requiresInitialPasswordReset is set to "true" in the user authentication settings, the console interface is not available to any users for which passwords were set by using the procedures described in Creating a user and Editing user information. The console interface becomes available by using this function.

    • Password changes are applied to the console interface by internal processing that is performed at 1-minute intervals and message KARS20067-I is output. Therefore, it takes some time for this operation to complete.
