CLI user account management in NSX components, such as NSX Manager, NSX Controller nodes, and NSX Edges is managed locally and is separate from the user account management in the vSphere web client. In this recipe, we will create two new CLI user accounts in NSX Manager with the following requirements:
john, who has access to the NSX Manager CLI, NSX Manager web interface UI, and REST APIsally, who has access to the NSX Manager CLI only
You should have access to the following:
- NSX Manager CLI via SSH or the console as admin
- NSX Manager web interface UI via browser as admin
- vSphere web client using any NSX roles
We will show you some basic steps to enter configuration mode in the NSX Manager CLI, create a user, change a password, and save a configuration until you clear a CLI session in the NSX Manager CLI.
