AAA Server
This chapter introduces and shows you how to configure the UAG to use external authentication
servers.
49.1 AAA Server Overview
You can use an AAA (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting) server to provide access control to
your network.
The following lists the types of authentication server the UAG supports.
• Local user database
The UAG uses the built-in local user database to authenticate administrative users logging into
the UAG’s web configurator or network access users logging into the network through the UAG.
You can also use the local user database to authenticate VPN users.
• Directory Service (LDAP/AD)
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)/AD (Active Directory) is a directory service that is
both a directory and a protocol for controlling access to a network. The directory consists of a
database specialized for fast information retrieval and filtering activities. You create and store
user profile and login information on the external server.
• RADIUS
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) authentication is a popular protocol used
to authenticate users by means of an external or built-in RADIUS server. RADIUS authentication
allows you to validate a large number of users from a central location.
49.2 Authentication Server Command Summary
This section describes the commands for authentication server settings.
