CHAPTER 10: AUTHENTICATION
10.1.1 LOCAL AUTHENTICATION
Navigate to Serial and Network > Authentication.
Check Local.
Click Apply.
10.1.2 TACACS AUTHENTICATION
Perform the following procedure to configure the authentication method to be used whenever the console server or any
of its serial ports or hosts is accessed.
Select Serial and Network > Authentication.
Check TACACS, LocalTACACS, TACACSLocal or TACACSDownLocal.
Enter the Server Address (IP or host name) of the remote Authentication/Authorization server. Multiple remote servers may be
specified in a comma separated list. Each server is tried in succession.
Session accounting is on by default. If session accounting information is not wanted, check the Disable Accounting checkbox.
One reason for not wanting session accounting: if the authentication server does not respond to accounting requests, said request
may introduce a delay when logging in.
FIGURE 10-2.
In addition to multiple remote servers, you can also enter separate lists of Authentication/Authorization servers and Accounting
servers.
If no Accounting servers are specified, the Authentication/Authorization servers are used instead.
Enter and confirm the Server Password.
Select the method to be used to authenticate to the server (defaults to PAP).
To use DES encrypted passwords, select Login.
