96 Managing user accounts
Adding a RADIUS server to the switch configuration
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Enter the following command:
switch:admin> aaaConfig --add server [-p port] [-s secret] [-t timeout]
[-a pap | chap | peap-mschapv2]
Adding an LDAP server to the switch configuration
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Enter the command:
switch:admin> aaaConfig --add server [-p port] [-t timeout] [-d
domain_name]
At least one RADIUS or LDAP server must be configured before you can enable the RADIUS or LDAP
service.
If no RADIUS or LDAP configuration exists, turning on the RADIUS authentication mode triggers an error
message. When the command succeeds, the event log indicates that the configuration is enabled or
disabled.
IMPORTANT: When the RADIUS authentication mode is set to
radius;local
, you cannot downgrade
the Fabric OS to any version earlier than 5.2.0. Previous versions do not support the
radius;local
mode.
When the LDAP authentication mode is set to
ldap;local
, you cannot downgrade the Fabric OS to any
version earlier than 6.0.0. Previous versions do not support the
ldap;local
mode.
Enabling and disabling a RADIUS or LDAP server
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Enter the following command to enable RADIUS or LDAP using the local database:
switch:admin> aaaconfig --authspec "<radius | ldap>;local"
server
Enter either a server name or IPv4 or IPv6 address. Avoid duplicating
server listings (that is, listing the same server once by name and again
by IP address). Up to five servers can be added to the configuration.
-p port
Optional: Enter a server port. The default is port 1812.
-s secret
Optional: Enter a shared secret. The default is “sharedsecret”. Secrets
can be from 8 to 40 alphanumeric characters long. Make sure that the
secret matches that configured on the server.
-t timeout
Optional: Enter the length of time (in seconds) that the server has to
respond before the next server is contacted. The default is three seconds.
Time-out values can range from 1 to 30 seconds.
-a
[pap|chap|peap-mscha
pv2]
Specify PAP, CHAP or PEAP as authentication protocol. Use
peap-mschapv2
to provide encrypted authentication channel between
the switch and server.
server
Enter either a server name or IPv4 address. Microsoft Active Directory
does not support IPv6 addresses. Avoid duplicating server listings (that
is, listing the same server once by name and again by IP address). Up to
five servers can be added to the configuration.
-p port
Optional: Enter a server port. The default is port 389.
-t timeout
Optional: Enter the length of time (in seconds) that the server has to
