AP Console Password Protection

TheArubaOSAP console password feature helps protect systems that manage highly sensitive information, like financial and banking institutions, by requiring users to log in to the AP network with a password. The AP console password is enabled by default. Passwords must be 6 to 32 characters in length, and can include alphanumeric and special characters. If configured, you must enter this password to get AP console access. If not configured, theMobility Mastergenerates a default random password which can be viewed by executing theencrypt disablecommand followed by theshow ap system-profile command.

The timeout feature is also supported as an added level of security. If there is no user input or activity during one timeout interval (default of 30 minutes), the user is logged out of the system. The timeout interval cannot be modified.
