Remote Annex 6300 Supplement to the Remote Annex Administrator's Guide for UNIX
The RA 6300 acts as follows:
• If the vcli_password parameter is not set ("<unset>") and the
vcli_security parameter is set to N, the RA 6300 prompts for the
password specified by the password parameter.
• If the password parameter is not set ("<unset>"), the RA 6300
fails the VCLI attempt.
• If the vcli_security parameter is set to N and the vcli_password
parameter is set ("<set>"), the RA 6300 prompts for the
password specified in vcli_password.
• If the vcli_security parameter is not set (N) and the
vcli_password parameter is not set ("<unset>"), the RA 6300
does not perform a security check for VCLIs.
• If the vcli_security parameter is set to Y, the vcli_password
parameter is not set ("<unset>"), and the password parameter
is not set ("<unset>"), the RA 6300 denies access to the VCLI
if the security server is unreachable.
You can also use the vcli_password as a back-up to host-based security.
When local VCLI password protection is used as a back-up, the RA 6300
first accesses the security server to validate a CLI connection request. If
no response is received from a security server, the RA 6300 requests the
local VCLI password. The user can enter either the VCLI password or
the RA 6300 administrative password.
