Configuring for Non-local VPN Authentication
By default authentication is associated with login to the local context. authentication
can also be configured for non-local context VPN logins. must configured and enabled with the
option described below.
A
stop
keyword option is available for the Configuration mode
on-unknown-user
command. If
is enabled with the command-keyword option, the VPN context name into which the user is
attempting a login must match the VPN name specified in the username string. If the context name does not
match, the login fails and exits out.
Without this option the login sequence will attempt to authenticate in another context via an alternative login
method. For example, without the
on-unknown-user stop
configuration, an admin account could log into
the local context via the non-local VPN context. However, with the
on-unknown-user stop
configuration,
the local context login would not be attempted and the admin account login authentication would fail.

This section describes how to verify the configuration.
Log out of the system CLI, then log back in using services.
Once AAA services are configured and enabled on the StarOS, the system first will try to
authenticate the administrative user via AAA services. By default, if authentication
fails, the system then continues with authentication using non- AAA services.
