Description
258
Used to configure a user-defined or default method list of authentication
methods for user login.
config authen_login [default | method_list_name <string 15>] method
{tacacs | xtacacs | tacacs+ | radius | server_group <string 15> | local |
none}
This command is used to configure a user-defined or default method list of
authentication methods for users logging on to the switch. The sequence of
methods implemented in this command will affect the authentication result. For
example, if a user enters a sequence of methods like tacacs – xtacacs – local,
the switch will send an authentication request to the first tacacs host in the
server group. If no response comes from the server host, the switch will send
an authentication request to the second tacacs host in the server group and
so on, until the list is exhausted. At that point, the switch will restart the same
sequence with the following protocol listed, xtacacs. If no authentication takes
place using the xtacacs list, the local account database set in the switch is
used to authenticate the user. When the local method is used, the privilege
level will be dependant on the local account privilege configured on the switch.
Successful login using any of these methods will give the user a "user"
privilege only. If the user wishes to upgrade his or her status to the
administrator level, the user must implement the enable admin command,
followed by a previously configured password. (See the enable admin part of
this section for more detailed information, concerning the enable admin
command.)
