Automation

Hi.
I am trying to create users with JunOS PyEZ but when I try to enter password I get error. I heard about "user" module but couldn't find a synthax for it. This is what I tried.

Thanks

from jnpr.junos import Device
from jnpr.junos.utils.config import Config  

dev = Device(host='192.168.56.2', user='root', password='Juniper1')
dev.open()
cu=Config(dev)
#############################
new_User='set system login user Read class read-only authentication plain-text-password'
pass_New='Read1234'
pass_Repeat='Read1234'
##############################

cu.load(new_User, format='set')
cu.load(pass_New,format='set')
cu.load(pass_Repeat,format='set')

 Here is the error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/oscar/PycharmProjects/Junos/HelloWorld.py", line 18, in <module>    cu.load(pass_New,format='set')

Hi,

The first load is valid as it contains a set cli string, however the last two are not valid as they are just text.

The exception explains it;

ConfigLoadError(severity: error, bad_element: Read1234, message: unknown command)

'unknown command' which has been return from the junos device.

See the API;

http://junos-pyez.readthedocs.org/en/1.0.2/jnpr.junos.utils.html#jnpr.junos.utils.config.Config.load

You can either provide the encrypted password within the first load command or create an expect style script to perform the plain text password.

This isn't valid from a script because it is expecting direct input from the user session:

set system login user Read class read-only authentication plain-text-password 

 Instead, if you really want to input the password in plain text, use the hidden configuration option "plain-text-password-value"

e.g.:

set system login user Read class read-only authentication plain-text-password-value Read1234

Thanks you very much this helped me alot
