Authentication List
The Authentication List screen contains information for defining an authentication method for the
selected Authentication List. For example, if the user selects TACACS+ as the first entry, None as
the second, this causes authentication to first occur at the TACACS+ server. If the TACACS+
server is inaccessible or not defined, the session is permitted.
Once the Authentication List is defined as Local, it is not possible to define an alternative
authentication method as it is a built-in system authentication method.
In order to configure RADIUS/TACACS+ authentication, the user name should be configured as
$enab15$ on the RADIUS/TACACS+ server.
To configure the Authentication List method:
1. Click Security > Management Security > Authentication List. The Authentication List
screen displays:
Figure 6-5
The Authentication List screen contains the following fields:
• 1,2,3 – Select the order in which authentication is applied. The possible field values are:
– TACACS+ – Authenticate the user at the TACACS+ server. For more information, see
"TACACS+".
– RADIUS – Authenticate the user at the RADIUS server. For more information, see
"RADIUS".
– Local – Authenticate the user at the device level. The device checks the user name and
password for authentication
– None – Assign no authentication method to the authentication list.
2. Select the Authentication List entry.
