Field Requirements & Limits

All special characters are allowed in passwords in both the CLI and GUI.

In the CLI only, you must quote or escape some characters to use them in a password. 

In CLI, use	To represent the any word in CLI except the username
"ab\"c"	ab\"c
ab\"c	ab"c
ab\\	ab\
"ab?c"	ab?c
ab\\\\c	ab\c

Most symbols can be entered without any special quoting. If you want to include spaces or double quotes as part of a name, however, care must be taken. To use double quotes, enclose the entire string in double quotes and put a backslash in front of each double quote you wish to be part of the name:

• admin@cc> collector new "before\"after" Zone1 cc:eth0

• admin@cc> collector list

• before"after

To use spaces, you have two choices. Either use a backslash before each space, or enclose the entire name in double quotes:

• admin@cc> collector new with\ space Zone1 cc:eth0

• admin@cc> collector new "two words" Zone1 cc:eth0

• admin@cc> collector list

• two words

• with space

Note: The above is true for passwords, zone names, and organization names and, with the exception of user names, anywhere you enter a free-form string. 

User names cannot have special characters. User names are subject to additional restrictions from applications outside of Asset Manager and no special characters are allowed. There are discrepancies across in sources about whether upper or lower case is allowed and whether periods and hyphens are allowed, so the safer route is to limit user names to the characters A-Z, numbers 0-9, and string length 1-31.

Special Characters Allowed

The following selection of punctuation characters are present on standard US keyboard and allowed in the fields identified above. 

The following characters are not supported in the SNMP Community String:

The default community credentials are as follows:

public, private, 2read, 2write, 4changes, access, admin, agent, ANYCOM, all, CISCO, community, ctron, default, dilbert, enable, field, foo, foobar, guest, hello, IBM, ILMI, manager, mngt, monitor, network, openview, OrigEquipMfr, password, proxy, read, root, router, scotty, secret, security, seri, snmp, SNMP, snmpd, solaris, SUN, switch, system, tech, test, tiv0li, tivoli, world, write, and MiniAP.

Note: For SNMP queries to be effective, Asset Manager must be placed on a subnet (or given an IP address) that is authorized to poll the routers for SNMP. This may require modification of access control lists (ACL) to permit SNMP access from Asset Manager. Without this capability, the value of Path Discovery is reduced.
