    Hi team,

    Can anyone help me out with how i can remove admin account from my Aruba JL479A 8320 switch, instead of using admin account i can only use the authorized user accounts.


    If this admin user can not be deleted ,is there any proper documentation for this please share with me for the reference.

    Hello, 
    The default mgmt user admin of AOS controllers cannot be removed, only non-default root users can be deleted.
    (WLC01) [mynode] (config) #show mgmt-user

    Default password recovery user: Enabled

    Management User Table
    ---------------------
    USER PASSWD ROLE STATUS PATH Max-concurrent-sessions
    ---- ------ ---- ------ ---- -----------------------
    admin ***** root ACTIVE / N/A
    manager ***** root ACTIVE / N/A
    (WLC01) [mynode] (config) #no mgmt-user admin
    Cannot Delete Default user admin.

    (WLC01) [mynode] (config) #no mgmt-user manager
    (WLC01) ^[mynode] (config) #write m



    There is an option to disable authentication using local accounts (including admin) when external RADIUS and TACACs servers are reachable. Have a look at page 890. Disabling Authentication of Local Management User Accounts

    https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=a00072769en_us

    (WLC01) [mynode] (config) #show mgmt-user local-authentication-mode

    Local Authentication Mode: Enabled
    (WLC01) [mynode] (config) #no mgmt-user localauth
    (WLC01) ^[mynode] (config) #write m

    Saving Configuration...

    Configuration Saved.
    (WLC01) [mynode] (config) #show mgmt-user local-authentication-mode

    Local Authentication Mode: Disabled
