Password change via SNMP

Anonymous user · ‎2021-06-30

We have a large number of APC Masterswitches and ATSs across our network.

Is there a method to update the password via SNMP? Using expect scripts is really not ideal.

Thanks - yeah I did that, too - There must be some method for updating the passwords (other than Telnet/SSH) - how on earth do large enterprises cope with massive password changes?

i searched the entire latest APC MIB (v3.9.5), which is located here and could not find an OID to do this unfortunately.

Large organizations use RADIUS authentication instead.

You can also FTP in a config.ini file with just a SystemUserManager section. Here's the description:

[SystemUserManager]
;    To change the Administrator, Device, or Read-Only users
;    passwords, use the AdminPassword, DevicePassword, or
;    ReadOnlyPassword keywords respectively. i.e., AdminPassword=apc
