Configuring authentication and authorization

Perform this task on the FTP server to authenticate FTP clients and set the authorized directories
that authenticated clients can access.
The following authentication modes are available:
•
Local authentication—The device looks up the client's username and password in the local
user account database. If a match is found, authentication succeeds.
•
Remote authentication—The device sends the client's username and password to a remote
authentication server for authentication. The user account is configured on the remote
authentication server rather than the device.
The following authorization modes are available:
•
Local authorization—The device assigns authorized directories to FTP clients based on the
locally configured authorization attributes.
•
Remote authorization—A remote authorization server assigns authorized directories on the
device to FTP clients.
For information about configuring authentication and authorization, see Security Configuration
Guide.

Remarks
By default, no ACL is used for access
control.
By default, no SSL server policy is
associated with the FTP server.
By default, the FTP connection
idle-timeout timer is 30 minutes.
If no data transfer occurs on an FTP
connection within the idle-timeout
interval, the FTP server closes the FTP
connection to release resources.
By default, the DSCP value is 0.
By default, the maximum number of
concurrent FTP users is 32.
Changing this setting does not affect
users who are currently online. If the
new limit is less than the number of
online FTP users, no additional FTP
users can log in until the number drops
below the new limit.

command, see Security Command
