Authentication Server Host - D-Link Xstack DGS-3600 Series User Manual

Simply enter a group name of no more than 15 alphanumeric characters to define the user group to add. After clicking Apply, the
new user-defined group will be displayed in the Authentication Server Group window. Here, it can be configured as the user
desires.
NOTE: The user must configure Authentication Server Hosts using the Authentication Server
Hosts window before adding hosts to the list. Authentication Server Hosts must be configured
for their specific protocol on a remote centralized server before this function can work properly.
NOTE: The four built in server groups can only have server hosts running the same TACACS
daemon. TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+ protocols are separate entities and are not
compatible with each other.

Authentication Server Host

This window will set user-defined Authentication Server Hosts for the TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+/RADIUS security
protocols on the Switch. When a user attempts to access the Switch with Authentication Policy enabled, the Switch will send
authentication packets to a remote TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+/RADIUS server host on a remote host. The
TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+/RADIUS server host will then verify or deny the request and return the appropriate message to
the Switch. More than one authentication protocol can be run on the same physical server host but, remember that
TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+/RADIUS are separate entities and are not compatible with each other. The maximum supported
number of server hosts is 16.
