The Profile Overview page provides complete view of all the configurations of a specific profile. You can also modify the name, description, and the local credentials of the selected profile.

To access the Profile Overview page in the Orchestrator UI:

  2. Click the link to a Profile and then select the Overview tab. You can edit the Profile Name, Description, and Local Credentials.
    Figure 4. View Profile Information
  3. Default Local Credentials are set to a random password by the Orchestrator. You can change the random password by selecting the EDIT button and then selecting the Change Password check box. Enter the new password and select SUBMIT.
    Figure 5. Modify Local Credentials
    Note:
    • Ensure the new password meets the following password policy criteria:
      • Should be at least 8 characters
      • Should be less than 32 characters
      • Should have at least one number
      • Should have at least one lower case character
    • The use of the special character "<" in the password is no longer supported. In cases where users have already used "<" in their passwords in previous releases, they must remove it to save any changes on the page.
    Note: The updated credentials are applied to the Profile and all associated Edges. If you add a new Edge to a Profile without changing the default local credentials for the Profile, the local credentials for the Edge will be different from that of the Profile. You must change the local credentials at the Edge level. For details, refer to View Edge Information.
    The Profile Overview section displays Edge models that are activated for the profile, network services configured for the profile, and the segments configuration details assigned to the profile. For additional information, see Configure Profiles.
