SET AUTHENTICATION

Syntax

set authentication method=radius [secret=

string

]

[timeout=

value

]

Parameters

method

Specifies the active authenticator protocol on the
stack. Stacks only support RADIUS.

secret

Specifies the global encryption key of the RADIUS
servers. If the servers use different encryption keys,
you can leave this parameter blank and set individual
encryption keys with “ADD RADIUSSERVER” on
page 448. To
remove a previously assigned global
key without specifying a new value, enter the string as
“none”. The maximum length is 39 characters.

timeout

Specifies the maximum amount of time the stack
waits for a response from an authentication server
before the stack assumes the server will not respond.
If the timeout expires and the server has not
responded, the stack queries the next server in the
list. The default is 30 seconds. The range is 1 to 300
seconds.

Description

This command designates the active authentication protocol on the stack.
Stacks support only the RADIUS protocol. You may specify a global
encryption code and the maximum number of seconds the stack waits for
a response from an authenticator server.

Examples

The following command selects RADIUS as the authentication protocol
with a global encryption key of leopard09 and a timeout of 15 seconds:

set authentication method=radius secret=leopard09 timeout=15

The following command removes the current global secret from the
RADIUS client without assigning a new value:

set authentication method=radius secret=none
