Configuring Local User Attributes - H3C S5810 Series Operation Manual

With the accounting optional command configured, a user to be disconnected can still use the
network resources even when there is no available accounting server or communication with the
current accounting server fails.
The local accounting is not used for accounting implementation, but together with the attribute
access-limit command for limiting the number of local user connections. However, with the
accounting optional command configured, the limit on the number of local user connections is not
effective.
The accounting method specified with the accounting default command is for all types of users
and has a priority lower than that for a specific access mode.
With the
hwtacacs-scheme-name local keyword and argument combination configured, local accounting is
the backup method and is used only when the remote server is not available.
If the primary accounting method is local or none, the system performs local accounting or does
not perform any accounting, and will not use the RADIUS or HWTACACS accounting scheme.
In login access mode, accounting is not supported for FTP services.

Configuring Local User Attributes

For local authentication, you need to create local users and configure user attributes on the device as
needed.
A local user represents a set of user attributes configured on a device and is uniquely identified by the
username. For a user requesting a network service to pass local authentication, you must add an entry
as required in the local user database of the device.
Each local user belongs to a local user group and bears all attributes of the group. For details about
local user group, refer to
When configuring local users and local user groups, pay attention to the effective ranges and priority
relationship of user group attributes and user attributes.
You can configure an authorization attribute in user group view or local user view, making the attribute
effective on all local users of the group or only the local user. An authorization attribute configured in
local user view takes precedence over the same attribute configured in user group view.
Follow these steps to configure the attributes for a local user:
