Environment

Reporter Version 11.x

Resolution

Instead of RPAC we have to create the users through CLI. The steps would be as follows:

 

- Step1 : Go to the local user list local-users

reporter(config-authentication)#edit local-user-list local-user

- Step2 : Create user Test

reporter(config-local-user-list local-users)#create user name Test

- Step 3: Set the user password

reporter(config-local-user-list local-users)# edit user Test password  < password >

- Step 4: Add the user to group named admin

reporter(config-local-user-list local-users)# edit user Test admin

- Step 5: Verify the configuration. It should look like follows:

With this user we will be able to get into the standard mode only. Not in the enable mode. If we want to get into enable mode then we have to use the password of the predefined system admin.
