xcmHrDevMgmtOperatorPassword

Module: XEROX-COMMON-MIB

OID (symbolic): XEROX-COMMON-MIB::xcmHrDevMgmtOperatorPassword

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.253.8.53.5.2.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: OCTET STRING

Access: read-create

Description:

A protected system operator password for this device. Usage: Conformant implementations MUST encrypt passwords, keys, and other security information stored in this string object. Usage: All XCMI conforming management agents: a) SHOULD always return a zero length string in response to an SNMP GetRequest of this object; b) SHALL NOT return the contents of this object in cleartext (ie, unencrypted) in response to an SNMP GetRequest; c) SHOULD support (ie, accept) an authenticated SNMP SetRequest changing the system 'operator password' in this object. Usage: Conforming management stations and management agents SHOULD support authentication of SNMP SetRequests via values of 'xcmHrDevMgmt[User|Operator|Admin]Password' in ciphertext (ie, encrypted) written in 'xcmHrDevMgmtCommandData'. Usage: Conforming management stations MAY support client-side authentication of user roles and rights via checking values of 'xcmHrDevMgmt[User|Operator|Admin]Password' presented in client applications (eg, install tools). WARNING: Such authentication mechanisms do NOT protect managed systems from attack by other SNMP client applications that do NOT perform such client-side authentication and are thus inherently weak.

What is xcmHrDevMgmtOperatorPassword?

This protected password object allows configuration of a system operator password for Xerox devices, but compliant agents must always return a zero-length string on SNMP GET and never return cleartext. The password is stored encrypted within the device for local authentication. An operator sets this via SNMP SET to establish or change the operator password, with the understanding that retrieval is blocked for security.
