4.2.3.12 User Login
Each configured user is assigned to a login list that specifies how the user should be authenticated when attempting to access
the switch or a port on the switch. After creating a new user account on the User Account screen, you should assign that user to
a login list for the switch using this screen and, if necessary, to a login list for the ports using the Port Access Control User Login
Configuration screen. If you need to create a new login list for the user, you would do so on the Login Configuration screen.
The pre-configured users, admin and guest, are assigned to a pre-configured list named defaultList, which you may not delete.
All newly created users are also assigned to the defaultList until you specifically assign them to a different list.
A user that does not have an account configured on the switch is termed the 'default' or 'non-configured' user. If you assign
the 'non-configured user' to a login list that specifies authentication via the RADIUS server, you will not need to create an
account for all users on each switch. However, by default the 'non-configured user' is assigned to 'defaultList', which by
default uses local authentication.
Selection Criteria
。 User - Select the user you want to assign to a login list. Note that you must always associate the admin user with
the default list. This forces the admin user to always be authenticated locally to prevent full lockout from switch
configuration. If you assign a user to a login list that requires remote authentication, the user's access to the switch
from all CLI, web, and telnet sessions will be blocked until the authentication is complete. Refer to the discussion
of maximum delay in the RADIUS configuration help.
Configurable Data
。 Authentication List - Select the authentication login list you want to assign to the user for system login.
