# config -s config.groups.group7.description=MyGroup
# config -s config.groups.total=7
# config -s config.groups.group7.port1=on
# config -s config.groups.group7.port5=on
Assume we have an RPC device connected to port 1 on the console server, and the RPC is configured. To give this group access to
RPC outlet number 3 on the RPC device, run the two commands below:
# config -s config.ports.port1.power.outlet3.groups.group1=Group7
# config -s config.ports.port1.power.outlet3.groups.total=1
The second command sets the total number of groups that have access to this outlet. If more groups are given access to this power
outlet, then increment the config.ports.port1.power.outlet3.groups.total element accordingly.
To give this group access to network host 5:
# config -s config.sdt.hosts.host5.groups.group1=Group7
# config -s config.sdt.hosts.host5.groups.total=1
The second command sets the total number of groups with access to host.
To give another group called Group8 access to the same host:
# config -s config.sdt.hosts.host5.groups.group2=Group8
# config -s config.sdt.hosts.host5.groups.total=2
The second command sets the total number of groups with access to host.
To delete the group called Group7, use the following command:
# rmuser Group7
NOTE: The rmuser script is a generic script to remove any config element from config.xml correctly. Any dependencies or references
to this group will not be affected. Only the group details are deleted. The administrator is responsible for going through config.
xml and removing group dependencies and references manually, specifically if the group had access to a host or RPC device.
The following command will synchronize the live system with the new configuration:
# config -a
15.1.4 AUTHENTICATION
To change the type of authentication for the console server:
# config -s config.auth.type='authtype'
‘authtype’ can be:
Local
LocalTACACS
TACACS

LocalRADIUS
