User authentication
1. Select the device in Remote Manager and click Actions > Open Console, or log into the
Connect IT 4 local command line as a user with full Admin access rights.
Depending on your device configuration, you may be presented with an Access selection
menu. Type admin to access the Admin CLI.
2. At the command line, type config to enter configuration mode:
> config
(config)>
3. Configure the device to use RADIUS authentication:
(config)> add auth method end radius
Note If you want other users to authenticate via other authentication methods, you should
include those authentication methods in this list. For example, if you want administrators of
the Connect IT 4 to log into the device using local authentication, make sure that local
authentication is included in the auth method list. Otherwise they will not be able to log into
the device. To view the current auth method list:
(config)> show auth method
0 local
1 radius
(config)>
4. Create the first authentication group:
(config)> add auth group serialgroup1
(config auth group serialgroup1)>
5. Enable serial access for serialgroup1:
(config auth group serialgroup1)> acl serial enable true
(config auth group serialgroup1)>
6. Limit the user's access to serial port 1:
(config auth group serialgroup1)> add acl serial ports end port1
(config auth group serialgroup1)>
7. Move down one step in the configuration by typing two periods (..):
(config auth group serialgroup1)> ..
(config auth group)>
8. Create the second authentication group:
(config auth group)> add serialgroup2
(config auth group serialgroup2)>
