14.10 Authentication, Authorization and Accounting
Authentication is the process of determining who a user is and validating access to the system. The
system can authenticate users who try to log in based on user accounts configured on the system
itself. The system can also use an external authentication server to authenticate a large number of
users
Authorization is the process of determining what a user is allowed to do. Different user accounts
may have higher or lower privilege levels associated with them. For example, user A may have the
right to create new login accounts on the system but user B cannot. The system can authorize users
based on user accounts configured on the system itself or it can use an external server to authorize
a large number of users.
Accounting is the process of recording what a user is doing. The system can use an external server
to track when users log in, log out, execute commands and so on. Accounting can also record
system related actions such as boot up and shut down times of the system.
The external servers that perform authentication, authorization and accounting functions are known
as AAA servers. The system supports RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) and
