Chapter 2 Catalyst 6500 Series Switch and ROM Monitor Commands
set authentication login
Usage Guidelines This command allows you to choose the authentication method for the web interface. If you configure
the authentication method for the HTTP session as RADIUS, then the username or password is validated
using the RADIUS protocol, and TACACS+ and Kerberos authentication is set to disable for the HTTP
sessions. By default, the HTTP login is validated using the local login password.
You can specify the authentication method for console, telnet, http, or all by entering the console,
telnet, http, or all keywords. If you do not specify console, telnet, http, or all, the authentication
method default is for all sessions.
