How Authentication Operates
General Authentication Process Using a
Server
Authentication through a server operates generally as described
below. For specific operating details, refer to the documentation you received
with your server application.
Figure 5-10. Using a Server for Authentication
Using figure 5-10, above, after either switch detects an operator’s logon
request from a remote or directly connected terminal, the following events
occur:
1. The switch queries the first-choice server for authentication
of the request.
• If the switch does not receive a response from the first-choice
server, it attempts to query a secondary server. If the
switch does not receive a response from any server,
then it uses its own local username/password pairs to authenti-
cate the logon request. (See “Local Authentication Process” on
page 5-25.)
• If a server recognizes the switch, it forwards a user-
name prompt to the requesting terminal via the switch.
2. When the requesting terminal responds to the prompt with a username,
the switch forwards it to the server.
