D-Link DWS-1008 CLI Manual 186
set authentication admin
Configures authentication and defines where it is performed for specified users with administrative
access through Telnet or Web View.
Syntax: set authentication admin user-glob method1 [method2] [method3] [method4]
user-glob Single user or set of users with administrative access over the network through
Telnet or Web View. Specify a username, use the double-asterisk wildcard character
(**) to specify all usernames, or use the single-asterisk wildcard character (*) to
specify a set of usernames up to or following the first delimiter character—either an
at sign (@) or a period (.). (For details, see “User Globs” on page 6.)
method1-4 At least one of up to four methods that MSS uses to handle authentication. Specify
one or more of the following methods in priority order. MSS applies multiple methods
in the order you enter them.
A method can be one of the following:
• local—Uses the local database of usernames and user groups on the switch
for authentication.
• 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.
Note: 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 switch by an
administrator. The fallthru authentication type none denies access to a network user.
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 database for
authentication.
Access: Enabled.
