admin

Configures authentication and defines where it is performed for specified
users with administrative access through Telnet or Web Manager.

Syntax

set authentication admin

user-glob method1 [method2] [method3] [method4]

„

user-glob

— Single user or set of users with administrative access

over the network through Telnet or Web Manager.

Specify a username, use the double-asterisk wildcard character (**) to
specify all usernames, or use the single-asterisk wildcard character (*)
to specify a set of usernames up to or following the first delimiter
character—either an at sign (@) or a period (.). (For details, see “User
Globs” on page 78.
)

„

method1, method2, method3, method4

— At least one of up to four

methods that MSS uses to handle authentication. Specify one or more
of the following methods in priority order. MSS applies multiple
methods in the order you enter them.

A method can be one of the following:

„

local

— Uses the local database of usernames and user groups

on the WX switch for authentication.

„

server-group-name

— Uses the defined group of RADIUS servers

for authentication. You can enter up to four names of existing
RADIUS server groups as methods.

„

none

For users with administrative access only, MSS performs no

authentication, but prompts for a username and password and
accepts any combination of entries, including blanks.

The authentication method none you can specify for administrative
access is different from the fallthru authentication type none, which
applies only to network access. The authentication method none allows
access to the WX switch by an administrator. The fallthru authentication
type none denies access to a network user. (See “set service-profile
auth-fallthru” on page 482
.)

For more information, see “Usage.”

Defaults — By default, authentication is deactivated for all admin users.
The default authentication method in an admin authentication rule is
local. MSS checks the local WX database for authentication.

Access — Enabled.
