Figure 63: Select for ZoneDirector administrator authentication
Testing Authentication Settings
The Test Authentication Settings feature allows you to query an AAA server for a known
authorized user, and return Groups associated with the user that can be used for
configuring Roles within ZoneDirector.
After you have configured one or more authentication servers in ZoneDirector, perform
this task to ensure that ZoneDirector can connect to the authentication server and retrieve
the groups/attributes that you have configured for each user account. If testing against
a RADIUS server, this feature uses PAP or CHAP depending on the RADIUS server
configuration and the choice you made in “RADIUS / RADIUS Accounting” above. Make
sure that either PAP or CHAP is enabled on the Remote Access Policy (assuming
Microsoft IAS as the RADIUS server) before continuing with testing authentication settings.
1.
On the
Configure > AAA Servers
page, locate the
Test Authentication Settings
section.
2.
Select the authentication server that you want to use from the
Test Against
drop-down menu.
3.
In
User Name
and
Password
, enter an Active Directory, LDAP or RADIUS user name
and password.
4.
Click
Test
. If ZoneDirector was able to connect to the authentication server and
retrieve the configured groups/attributes, the information appears at the bottom of
the page. The following is an example of the message that will appear when
ZoneDirector authenticates successfully with the server:
Success! Groups
associated with this user are “{group_name}”. This user will
be assigned a role of {role}
. If the test was unsuccessful, there are three
possible results (other than success) that will be displayed to inform you if you have
entered information incorrectly:
• Admin invalid
• User name or password invalid
• Search filter syntax invalid (LDAP only)
These results can be used to troubleshoot the reasons for failure to authenticate users
from an AAA server through ZoneDirector.
