Chapter 4 Managing GSS User Accounts Through a Server
Configuring a Server for Use with the GSS
•
Key—Enter the shared secret that the GSS and Cisco Secure ACS use to
authenticate transactions. For correct operation, you must specify the
identical shared secret on both the Cisco Secure ACS and the GSS. The key
is case-sensitive.
•
Authenticate Using—Select
(Cisco IOS)
.
Note
The (Cisco IOS) drop-down item is the general title for the
Cisco authentication function. The (Cisco IOS)
selection activates the option when using Cisco Systems
access servers, routers, and firewalls that support the
authentication protocol. This includes support with a GSS device as well.
Configuring Authorization Settings on the Server
You can use the server to limit user access to a subset of CLI
commands on a GSS device. For the Cisco Secure ACS, define the CLI command
sets for user groups, and then assign users to those groups. You can also determine
a user’s primary GSSM GUI privilege level when configuring user command
authorization settings.
Note
For the Cisco Secure ACS, you may also define command privileges for
individual users instead of an entire group. The setup process is the same for users
or for groups.
