Configuring authentication mode

Authentication mode under a user interface determines whether to authenticate users that are logging in

through the user interface. The switch supports the following authentication modes:

None—Requires no authentication. This mode is insecure.

Password—Requires password authentication. If your password was lost, see H3C Series Ethernet
Switches Login Password Recovery Manual
for password recovery.

Scheme—Uses the AAA module to provide local or remote console login authentication. You must
provide a username and password for accessing the CLI. If the password configured in the local

user database was lost, see H3C Series Ethernet Switches Login Password Recovery Manual for

password recovery. If the username or password configured on a remote server was lost, contact the
server administrator for help.

To improve switch security, configure the password or scheme authentication mode immediately after you

log in to the switch for the first time.
For more information about user authentication modes and parameters, see Security Configuration
Guide
. By default, the switch performs local authentication on users. If you log in through SSH, the rules

apply to password authentication only. For more information about SSH, see Security Configuration

Guide.
