Using Local Authentication Directory on ProCurve NAC
2. Click the check box to Enable Local Authentication for ProCurve NAC devices .
A check mark indicates the option is selected.
3. Click OK to save the configuration and close the window.
The Enable Local Authentication option will only appear if:
■ The RADIUS service for the realm is supplied by the RADIUS server
on the ProCurve NAC appliance, and
■ The IDM Agent is installed on the same ProCurve NAC appliance as
the RADIUS server.
Adding Locally Authenticated Users
The only difference in IDM between a user that is locally authenticated on a
ProCurve NAC, and a user that is authenticated by an enterprise user directory
is a password. That is, you must enter a password when creating a locally
authenticated user. This is due to a NOT NULL constraint on the password
column of the user table on the ProNAC database.
Once you enable the Local Authentication Directory, to add a "locally authen-
ticated" user, simply navigate to the Users tab and select the New User or
Modify User button to launch the user configuration dialog.
1. To launch the New User dialog:
a. Expand the Realms node in the IDM tree to display the ProCurve
Network Access Controllers Node
b. Right-click on the Network Access Controller node and select the
New User Option
Alternately, you can:
a. Expand the Realms node in the IDM tree to display the ProCurve
Network Access Controllers Node
b. Click the node for the ProCurve Network Access Controller to display
the appliances.
c. Click the node for the NAC appliance to display the Properties and
Users tab, then click the Users tab.
d. Click the New User button in the toolbar.
You can also select a user in the Users tab then click the "Modify User"
button to add or modify the password for existing users.
