Field Reference
Table K-53 Console Page—Authentication Tab
Element Description
Authenticate Using Authentication settings for the console port:
• None—Authentication is not performed. This is the default.
• Local Database—Uses the local username database for authentication.
• AAA Policy Default List—Uses the default authentication method list
that is defined in the device’s AAA policy. See AAA
Page—Authentication Tab, page K-88.
• Custom Method List—Uses the authentication methods specified in the
Authentication Method List field.
Note If you select local authentication, preview the full configuration
before deployment to make sure that the aaa new-model command
is not configured by another policy (for example, by configuring a
method list in the AAA policy) or is already configured on the device
itself.
Prioritized Method List Applies only when Custom Method List is selected as the authentication
method.
Defines a sequential list of methods to be queried when authenticating a user.
Enter the names of one or more AAA server group objects (up to four), or
click Select to display an Object Selectors, page F-593. Use the up and down
arrows in the object selector to define the order in which the selected server
groups should be used.
The device tries initially to authenticate users using the first method in the
list. If that method fails to respond, the device tries the next method, and so
on, until a response is received.
If the AAA server group you want is not listed, click the Create button in the
selector to display the AAA Server Group Dialog Box, page F-12. From here
you can define a AAA server group object.
Note If you select None as a method, it must appear as the last method in
the list.
Save button Saves your changes to the Security Manager server but keeps them private.
