You should never need to access the OS Shell
under normal operating conditions as the DLP management UI
and the Privileged CLI modes provide all of the routine configuration
functions to set up and maintain DLP on a day-to-day basis.
On the rare occasion when you might be required to enter the OS
shell interface, use the following procedure to authenticate to
the OS shell.
Access the CLI from the local DLPconsole
or through a remote SSH v2 connection.
Authenticate to the nonprivileged CLI using the “admin”
account and password (or any administrator equivalent account.)
To authenticate to the privileged CLI, type the enable
command and press Enter.
Type the Enable account password.
If you entered your account and passwords properly,
you are placed into the privileged CLI mode.
To gain access to the OS shell, type the admin shell
command and press Enter.
Enter the root password.
If you entered your root password correctly, you
are placed into the OS shell and the CLI prompt changes to the OS
Shell prompt. You can now perform native operating system commands.
To exit from the OS shell and go back to the privileged
CLI, type the exit command and press Enter.
The exit command moves you back up one CLI shell
level at a time until it logs you out of the CLI.
Note
If you received DLP Endpoint pre-installed, use
the default password. You can change the passwords for each of these
accounts by using the configure password CLI command.
