Authentication
Configuring on the Switch
Figure 5-9.
Example of the Switch After Assigning a Different “First-Choice” Server
To remove the 10.28.227.15 device as a server, you would use this
command:
HP Switch (config)# no tacacs-server host 10.28.227.15
Configuring an Encryption Key. Use an encryption key in the switch if the
switch will be requesting authentication from a server that also uses
an encryption key. (If the server expects a key, but the switch either does not
provide one, or provides an incorrect key, then the authentication attempt will
fail.) Use a
global encryption key if the same key applies to all
servers the switch may use for authentication attempts. Use a per-server
encryption key if different servers the switch may use will have different keys.
(For more details on encryption keys, see “Using the Encryption Key” on page
5-26.)
To configure north01 as a global encryption key:
HP Switch (config) tacacs-server key north01
To configure north01 as a per-server encryption key:
HP Switch (config)# tacacs-server host 10.28.227.63 key
north01
An encryption key can contain up to 100 characters, without spaces, and is
likely to be case-sensitive in most server applications.
To delete a global encryption key from the switch, use this command:
HP Switch (config)# no tacacs-server key
HP Switch(config)# show tacacs
