Dell SmartFabric OS10 User Guide Release 10.5.4

Passwords for user accounts

OS10 allows you to configure password check and strength for the user accounts.

Configuration notes

All Dell PowerSwitches except S4200-Series, S5200 Series, and Z9332F-ON:

When you enter a password in an OS10 command, either at a password prompt or in the command syntax, you can enter only alphanumeric and certain special characters - $ - _ . + ! * ' () - unencoded. You cannot enter any other special characters in the password. Use URL encoding instead.

For example, in the image download command, the password a@b is not accepted: image download ftp://username:a@b@10.11.63.122/filename. You must enter the password as image download ftp://username:a%40b@10.11.63.122/filename. The URL encoding for @ is %40. For information about other characters that require URL encoding, go to URL Encoding.
