Configuring Radius Authorization - Dell PowerConnect B-RX Configuration Manual

BigIron RX(config)# aaa authentication enable implicit-user
Syntax: [no] aaa authentication enable implicit-user

Configuring RADIUS authorization

The device supports RADIUS authorization for controlling access to management functions in the
CLI. Two kinds of RADIUS authorization are supported:
•
•
Configuring Exec authorization
NOTE
Before you configure RADIUS exec authorization on the BigIron RX, make sure that the aaa
authentication enable default radius command or the aaa authentication login privilege-mode
command exist in the configuration.
When RADIUS exec authorization is performed, the BigIron RX consults a RADIUS server to
determine the privilege level of the authenticated user.
To configure RADIUS exec authorization on the BigIron RX, enter the following command.
BigIron RX(config)# aaa authentication exec default radius
Syntax: aaa authentication exec default radius | none
If you specify none, or omit the aaa authorization exec command from the device's configuration,
no exec authorization is performed.
NOTE
If the aaa authorization exec default radius command exists in the configuration, following
successful authentication the device assigns the user the privilege level specified by the
brocade-privilege-level attribute received from the RADIUS server. If the aaa authorization exec
default radius command does not exist in the configuration, then the value in the
brocade-privilege-level attribute is ignored, and the user is granted Super User access.
For the aaa authorization exec default radius command to work, either the aaa authentication
enable default radius command, or the aaa authentication login privilege-mode command must
also exist in the configuration.
Configuring command authorization
When RADIUS command authorization is enabled, the BigIron RX consults the list of commands
supplied by the RADIUS server during authentication to determine whether a user can execute a
command he or she has entered.
You enable RADIUS command authorization by specifying a privilege level whose commands
require authorization. For example, to configure the BigIron RX to perform authorization for the
commands available at the Super User privilege level (that is; all commands on the device), enter
the following command.
BigIron RX(config)# aaa authorization commands 0 default radius
