Removing a User Account
Use the following procedure to remove any of the Read Only user accounts.
1 From the User menu, select the user to remove.
The screen refreshes.
2 Click
Remove
to delete the user.
This button is only visible when you have selected a user account with 'Read Only' access. You
cannot remove the 'Read/Write' user.
If you want the switch to retain the new values across a power cycle, you must perform a save.
Authentication Server Users
Use the Authentication Server Users page to add and remove users from the local authentication server
user database. For some security features, such as IEEE 802.1X port-based authentication, you can
configure the device to use the locally stored list of usernames and passwords to provide authentication
to users instead of using an external authentication server.
Note
The preconfigured users, admin and guest, are assigned to a pre-configured list named
defaultList, which you cannot delete. All newly created users are also assigned to the
defaultList until you specifically assign them to a different list.
You can create a text file that contains a list of IAS users to add to the database and then download the
file to the switch. The following script is an example of an IAS user text file that contains three users:
configure
aaa ias-user username client-1
password my-password1
exit
aaa ias-user username client-2
password aa5c6c251fe374d5e306c62496c3bcf6 encrypted
exit
aaa ias-user username client-3
password 1f3ccb1157
exit
After the download completes, client-1, client-2, and client-3 are added to the IAS database. The
password for client-2 is encrypted.
When Dot1x authentication is enabled on the ports and the authentication method is LOCAL, port
access is allowed only to users in this database that provide the correct name and password.
Use the buttons to perform the following tasks:
•
To add a new authentication server user, click
Add
.

To add a user to the local authentication server database, click
Add
and complete the required
information.
•
