Example 2: RADIUS, , and local authentication for one user
Goal: To create a user with administrator rights who is authenticated by using all three authentication
methods.
In this example, when the user attempts to log in to the Connect IT 16/48 device, user authentication
will occur in the following order:
1. The user is authenticated by the RADIUS server. If the RADIUS server is unavailable,
2. The user is authenticated by the server. If both the RADIUS and servers are
unavailable,
3. The user is authenticated by the Connect IT 16/48 device using local authentication.
This example uses a FreeRadius 3.0 server running on ubuntu, and a server running on
ubuntu. Server configuration may vary depending on the platforms or type of servers used in your
environment.
