Object

column r/w OctetString
A protected system operator password for this device.
              
Usage:  Conformant implementations MUST encrypt passwords, keys,
and other security information stored in this string object.
              
Usage:  All XCMI conforming management agents: a) SHOULD always
return a zero length string in response to an SNMP GetRequest of
this object; b) SHALL NOT return the contents of this object in
cleartext (ie, unencrypted) in response to an SNMP GetRequest;
c) SHOULD support (ie, accept) an authenticated SNMP SetRequest
changing the system 'operator password' in this object.
              
Usage:  Conforming management stations and management agents
SHOULD support authentication of SNMP SetRequests via values of
'xcmHrDevMgmt[User|Operator|Admin]Password' in ciphertext
(ie, encrypted) written in 'xcmHrDevMgmtCommandData'.
              
Usage:  Conforming management stations MAY support client-side
authentication of user roles and rights via checking values of
'xcmHrDevMgmt[User|Operator|Admin]Password' presented in client
applications (eg, install tools).  WARNING:  Such authentication
mechanisms do NOT protect managed systems from attack by other
SNMP client applications that do NOT perform such client-side
authentication and are thus inherently weak.
