security login password-prepare-to-downgrade

Reset password features introduced in the Data ONTAP version

Availability: This command is available to cluster administrators at the advanced privilege level.

Description​

In a MetroCluster configuration, this command must be run on both sites. The password for all other users are marked as "expired". This causes them to be re-encrypted using a compatible encryption type. The expired passwords are changed with an internally generated password. The administrator must change the passwords for all users before the users can login. The users are prompted to change their password upon login. This command disables the logging of unsuccessful login attempts. The command must be run by a user with the cluster admin role from a clustershell session on the console device. This user must be unlocked. If you fail to run this command, the revert process fails.

Parameters​

-disable-feature-set <downgrade version> - Data ONTAP Version
This parameter specifies the Data ONTAP version that introduced the password feature set.
