Using the CLI
204
User Accounts Management
The CLI provides authentication for users either through remote
authentication servers supporting or Radius or through a set of
locally managed user accounts. The setup wizard asks the user to create the
initial administrator account and password at the time the system is booted.
The following rules and specifications apply:
• The user may create five local user accounts.
• User accounts have an access level, a user name, and a user password.
• The user is able to delete the user accounts but the user will not be able to
delete the last level 15 account.
• The user password is saved internally in encrypted format and never
appears in clear text anywhere on the CLI.
• The CLI supports and Radius authentication servers.
• The CLI allows the user to configure primary and secondary
authentication servers. If the primary authentication server fails to respond
within a configurable period, the CLI automatically tries the secondary
authentication server.
• The user can specify whether the CLI should revert to using local user
accounts when the remote authentication servers do not respond or if the
CLI simply fails the login attempt because the authentication servers are
down. This requirement applies only when the user is logged in through a
telnet or an SSH session.
• The CLI always allows the user to log in to a local serial port even if the
remote authentication server(s) are down. In this case, CLI reverts to using
the locally configured accounts to allow the user to log in.
User Access Control
In addition to authenticating a user, the CLI also assigns the user access to
one of two security levels. Level 1 has read-only access. This level allow the
user to read information but not configure the switch. The access to this level
cannot be modified. Level 15 is the special access level assigned to the
superuser of the switch. This level has full access to all functions within the
switch and can not be modified.
