DGS-3324SRi:4#
config authen_login
Purpose
Used to configure a user-defined or default
method list
of
authentication methods for user login.
Syntax
config authen_login [default | method_list_name <string 15>]
method {tacacs | xtacacs | | radius | server_group
<string 15> | local | none}
Description
This command will configure a user-defined or default
method list
of
authentication methods for users logging on to the Switch. The
sequence of methods implemented in this command will affect the
authentication result. For example, if a user enters a sequence of
methods like
tacacs – xtacacs – local,
the Switch will send an
authentication request to the first
tacacs
host in the server group. If
no response comes from the server host, the Switch will send an
authentication request to the second
tacacs
host in the server group
and so on, until the list is exhausted. At that point, the Switch will
restart the same sequence with the following protocol listed,
xtacacs
.
If no authentication takes place using the
xtacacs
list, the
local
account database set in the Switch is used to authenticate the user.
When the local method is used, the privilege level will be dependant
on the local account privilege configured on the Switch.
Successful login using any of these methods will give the user a
“user” privilege only. If the user wishes to upgrade his or her status to
the administrator level, the user must implement the
enable admin
command, followed by a previously configured password. (
See the
enable admin
part of this section for more detailed information,
concerning the
enable admin
command.)
