Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Objective

This brief article explains the need to select a username other than cisco when logging into the Web User Interface (UI) for management.

Applicable Devices | Firmware Version

Cisco Business Dashboard | 2.3.0

Here’s the Deal

Per Secure Development Lifecycle Methodology (CSDL), cisco is no longer a valid username. This new standard has been implemented to reduce it as a vulnerability in operational systems.

The default login credentials will still use the username of cisco and a password of cisco out of the box. Once you perform the first login, you will be prompted to choose both a new username and a new password. This applies to new installations. The username change is not enforced on an in-place upgrade.

If you attempt to use cisco as your username, you will receive a little reminder of this new standard. Pick a different username and whatever you do, don’t forget it!

Feel free to keep cisco as your username for console access as that access method is not affected.

Conclusion

That’s it, just one small step to get you on your way.
