Configuring Enable Authentication to Prompt for Password Only

If enable authentication is configured on the device, by default, the user is prompted for a username and password when attempting to gain Super User access to the Privileged EXEC and CONFIG levels of the CLI. You can configure the RUCKUS device to prompt only for a password. The device uses the username entered at login, if one is available. If no username was entered at login, the device prompts for both username and password.

The following example configures the RUCKUS device to prompt only for a password when a user attempts to gain Super User access to the Privileged EXEC and global configuration levels of the CLI.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# aaa authentication enable implicit-user
