Configuring authentication of system users
You can configure the Nortel SNAS cluster to use an external RADIUS
server to authenticate system users. Authentication applies to both CLI
and SREM users.
The user name and password defined on the RADIUS server must be
the same as the user name and password defined on the Nortel SNAS.
When the user logs on, the RADIUS server authenticates the password.
The user group (admin, oper, or certadmin) is picked up from the local
definition of the user.
For more information about specifying user names, passwords, and group
assignments for Nortel SNAS system users, see

When you add an external RADIUS authentication server to the
configuration, the server is automatically assigned an index number. You
can add several RADIUS authentication servers, for backup purposes.
Nortel SNAS authentication will be performed by an available server with
the lowest index number. You can control authentication server usage
by reassigning index numbers (see
