AAA - Authentication,
Authorisation and Accounting
This chapter describes WeOS AAA support - Authentication, Authorisation and
Accounting. The AAA configuration gathers authentication methods and policies
in one place and is referenced from other subsystems in WeOS. Three uses of
AAA are currently supported:
❼ WeOS unit login: The login password to the unit is part of AAA.
❼ Port Based Access Control (PNAC): WeOS supports port access control with
IEEE 802.1X and MAC based authentication. This is configured in two differ-
ent places, in AAA and as settings related to VLAN. The configuration in AAA
specifies RADIUS backends and MAC filtering lists, and the configuration in
VLAN which ports are enabled for port access control. See
for
an introduction and guidance to configure port based access control with
WeOS.
❼ PPP Peer Authentication: You can create and use local user database lists
to authenticate and authorise your PPP peers. This is typically used for PPP
connections in dial-in/server mode (see
), but you can also use
this to authenticate and authorise your peer in other PPP modes.
