This document describes how to enable the sysadmin user password recovery feature in Secure Network Analytics 7.6.0 release.
This only user that can perform system configuration steps on the command line interface is sysadmin.
Previously, resetting the sysadmin user password required a full appliance reboot and entering a very lengthy one time recovery string without error or the process would have to be restarted.
This made the recovery process slow, inefficient, and highly prone to manual entry errors during critical maintenance windows.
The Secure Network Analytics (SNA) 7.6.0 release introduces a "Gatekeeper" approach, where an administrator must first enable the reset capability at the appliance console level before the option becomes available in the web UI.
The sysadmin user with must enable the feature so in order for it to be used in the future.
Security .Sysadmin Password.Yes when prompted to enable the password reset feature.
The feature has now been enabled.
Once enabled in the console, a new, dynamic tab is added to the SNA Manager interface:
Configure > User Management.Sysadmin Password tab.
Note: This tab is only accessible to users to Primary Admin users
