User Guidelines
There are no user guidelines for this command.
Example
The following example specifies the default authentication method when accessing a higher
privilege level from a remote Telnet or console.
ip http authentication
The ip http authentication global configuration mode command specifies authentication methods
for http. To return to the default, use the no form of this command.
Syntax
ip http authentication method1 [ method2 ...]
no ip http authentication
• method1 [ method2 ...]—Specify at least one from the following table:
Default Configuration
The local user database is checked. This has the same effect as the command ip http
authentication local .
Command Mode
Global Configuration mode
User Guidelines
The additional methods of authentication are used only if the previous method returns an
error, not if it fails. To ensure that the authentication succeeds even if all methods return an
error, specify
none as the final method in the command line.
NOTE:
Make sure that the given sequence of authentication methods is sensible. For example, a
sequence where Radius follows None is not sensible because None requires no authentication and,
therefore, the process will never require Radius authentication.
