Authentication Server Group Settings - D-Link dxs-3350sr Installation & User Manual

Authentication Server Group Settings

This window will allow users to set up Authentication Server Groups on the Switch. A server group is a technique used to
group TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+/RADIUS server hosts into user-defined categories for authentication using method
lists. The user may define the type of server group by protocol or by previously defined server group. The Switch has three
built-in Authentication Server Groups that cannot be removed but can be modified. Up to eight (8) authentication server
hosts may be added to any particular group.
To view the following window, click Security Management > Access Authentication Control > Authentication Server
Group:
This screen displays the Authentication Server Groups on the Switch. The Switch has three built-in Authentication Server

with the IP address of the Authentication Server Host and click ADD to Group to add this Authentication Server Host to

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 three 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.
