S5700 Telnet Failed

Hi,

There have been several changes to the authentication on these devices in recent versions, from the example you have given it seems to me that you need to add the "set authentication password cipher mypassword" command to enable the authentication fully. The "null" in the debug is indicating you have set the authentication to use password but not set a password.

Regards Nigel

Hi Nigel,

I did type in the command "set authentication password cipher mypassword".

But after typing, the command don't appear in the current-configuration.

I have even tried "set authentication password" <enter> "mypassword".

Same result as above.

Hi all,

Problem solved.

I just realise it's due to the password length.

No error message when I key in password length which exceeded the 56 characters.

When I change to a shorter password, the authentication works.

But still don't understand why the cipher encryption in AAA could accept the same password.

Might be possible that AAA cipher encryption type differs from the user-interface cipher encryption type?
