Chapter 6: SX II Administration

Configure User Authentication from the Remote Console
SX II requires users be authenticated to access the appliance.
Authentication is the process of verifying that a user is who he says he
is. Once a user is authenticated, the user's group is used to determine
his system and port permissions. The user's assigned privileges
determine what type of access is allowed. This is called authorization.
Users can be authenticated via SX II locally or remotely.
By default, users are authenticated locally; you must enable remote
authentication.
When the SX II is configured for remote authentication, the external
authentication server is used primarily for the purposes of authentication,
not authorization.
SX II provides several options to remotely authenticate users -
•
LDAP/LDAPS
•
RADIUS
•
For information on configuring LDAP, RADIUS and servers,
see Configure LDAP, RADIUS and Servers.
For information on enabling Telnet and SSH in SX II, see
Enable Telnet
(Optional)
(on page 114) and
Enable SSH Access (Optional)
(on page
113).
Note: You can also configure remote authentication via command line
interface. See
Configure User Authorization and Authentication
Services Using CLI
(on page 200).
