Configuring Security

Levels of Security
PortServer II allows one of four types of security access levels to be associated with
each user, as follows:
• Root login. The root user has access to all PortServer II’s configurable
parameters and consequently can change any of its functions. Root login is
normally restricted to system administrators and managers.
• Regular user login. A regular user does not have direct access to PortServer II
configuration parameters or functions, but connects to another host or system
from a menu or command line prompt. PortServer II can be configured to allow a
regular user to login with or without a password. A regular user can only make
configuration changes to his or her own port.
• Autoconnect user. An autoconnect user is always connected by PortServer II to a
specified host, regardless of the port or terminal from which he or she logs in. Any
autoconnect user can be configured to login with or without a password. An
autoconnect user does not have direct access to PortServer II parameters or
functions.
• Autoconnect port. Any user who logs into an autoconnect port always connects
to a specified host, regardless of who they are. An autoconnect port user does not
have direct access to PortServer II parameters or functions.
In addition to these options, additional security can be provided for dial-in users by
PPP, SLIP, or CSLIP features, and by RADIUS. These additional security options can
be configured in addition to the basic login security described above. For more infor-
mation, refer to Chapter 4, Basic Configuration (
set user
options), Chapter 8,
Configuring WAN Connections, and Chapter 15, Configuring RADIUS.
You can configure a user with any of these levels of security either from the configu-
ration menu or with command line entries, as described below. You can configure
user security at the same time you configure the user (see Chapter 4, Basic Configura-
tion) or as a separate procedure as described in this Chapter.
