Each local user belongs to a local user group and bears all attributes of the group, such as the
password control attributes and authorization attributes. For more information about local user
group, see
Password control attributes.
•
Password control attributes help you control the security of local users' passwords. Password
control attributes include password aging time, minimum password length, and password
composition policy.
You can configure a password control attribute in system view, user group view, or local user view,
making the attribute effective for all local users, all local users in a group, or only the local user. A
password control attribute with a smaller effective range has a higher priority. For more
information about password management and global password configuration, see
password
Binding attributes.
•
Binding attributes are used for controlling the scope of users. They are checked during local
authentication of a user. If the attributes of a user do not match the binding attributes configured for
the local user account, the user cannot pass authentication. Binding attributes include the ISDN
calling number, IP address, access port, MAC address, and native VLAN. For more information
about binding attributes, see
binding attributes to configure for a local user.
Authorization attributes.
•
Authorization attributes indicate the rights that a user has after passing local authentication.
Authorization attributes include the ACL, PPP callback number, idle cut function, user level, user
role, VLAN, and FTP/SFTP work directory. For more information about authorization attributes,
see "Configuring local user
Every configurable authorization attribute has its definite application environments and purposes.
When configuring authorization attributes for a local user, consider which attributes are needed
and which are not. For example, for PPP users, you do not need to configure the work directory
attribute.
You can configure an authorization attribute in user group view or local user view to make the
attribute effective for all local users in the group or for only the local user. The setting of an
authorization attribute in local user view takes precedence over that in user group view.
