Challenge with Password Change Command with UID instead of username

Hello ​@gabriel.restrepo

In a Password Safe Custom platform there is no way to specify a UID for a user unless you used the UID for the username. Then you could  reference using <<manacctname» in the custom platform.

I am not overly familiar  with the Radaware Alteon LB but a quick Google says valid UIDs are 1 to 10.

If that's the case you could try each UID

Start with 1 “/cfg/sys/access/user/1”

I don’t have a device to test any command but online I found a command reference that says there is a “cur” command that Displays the current user ID configuration. If that returns the user name of the user for the User ID you can match with <<manacctname»

If there is a match GOTO a statement group that runs the command to change password.

If there is no match try the next ID  “/cfg/sys/access/user/2”

In theory it should work.

Have a look at this KB on our Custom Platform Logic

If you have any questions please let me know.

Hi @jchandler,

That’s a great suggestion — I’m working on it! I do have one question, though, and I’m not sure if you happen to know the answer.

In the custom platforms, I’ve noticed variables like <<manacctname>>, <<ManAcctNewPwd>>, <<ManAcctOldPwd>>, <<LoginUserPwd>>, and others. Is there a place where I can find a complete list of these variables along with their descriptions? It would really help me customize the platform more effectively.

Thanks in advance!
