190 CHAPTER 7: AAA COMMANDS
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 301.)
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.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
The syntax descriptions for the set authentication commands have been
separated for clarity. However, the options and behavior for the set
authentication admin command are the same as in previous releases.
Usage — You can configure different authentication methods for
different groups of users. (For details, see “User Globs, MAC Address
Globs, and VLAN Globs” on page 24.)
If you specify multiple authentication methods in the set authentication
console command, MSS applies them in the order in which they appear
in the command, with these results:
If the first method responds with pass or fail, the evaluation is final.
If the first method does not respond, MSS tries the second method, and
so on.
However, if local appears first, followed by a RADIUS server group, MSS
ignores any failed searches in the local WX database and sends an
authentication request to the RADIUS server group.
