Configure FortiExtender admin password

You can configure the admin login password of a FortiExtender via the FortiGate console. Similar to allowaccess, it can be configured in a profile and also can be overridden in an extender entry.

  config extender-controller extender
  edit "FX201E0123456789"
       set override-login-password-change [enable|diable]
       set login-password-change [yes|default|no]
       set login-password <string>
    next
  end
  config extender-controller extender-profile
    edit "FX201E-default"
        set login-password-change [yes|default|no]
        set login-password <string>
    next
  end
Parameter Description
set login-password-change [yes|default|no]

Use one of the following options:

  • yes — Change the administrator login password of the FortiExtender.

  • default — Keep the managed administrator login password set to the factory default.

  • no — Do not change the administrator login password.

set override-login-password-change [enable|diable]

Enter either of the following:

  • enable — Override the administrator login password setting in the profile.

  • disable — Use the administrator login password setting in the profile.

set login-password <string> Set the administrator login password of the managed FortiExtender.
Note

In earlier releases of FortiOS, there is a "set login-password" command in the extender entry, but there are no "login-password-change" and "override-login-password-change" attributes. If you have configured your administrator login password in an earlier version of FortiOS, the "login-password-change" attribute will be set to "yes" and your login-password will remain the same as before after upgrade.
