/config/users/<user_name>/password/hash5¶
Use
Use to configure or change the password.
If you include characters other than letters (upper or lower), digits, dashes, and periods in a password, you must put double quotes around it.
Normally, you should use the clear form of the password, and the system encrypts the password. You can see the encrypted password the following ways:
- CLI command–show run
- REST API–/config/users/<user_name>/password/hash5
Use the encrypted form of the password only when you need to use an existing password on another system. You can copy the encrypted password from the show run output or from the /status/config/running node, then paste it into the encrypted form of the command on another system.
When you send a PUT or POST with a password to this node, the system automatically populates the /clear node with an empty string (“”).
