Juniper Networks J-Series Network Router User Manual


 
When you configure local user templates and a user logs in, the JUNOS software
issues a request to the authentication server to authenticate the user's login name.
If a user is authenticated, the server returns the local username to the router, which
then determines whether a local username is specified for that login name
(local-username for TACACS+, Juniper-Local-User for RADIUS). If so, the router selects
the appropriate local user template locally configured on the router. If a local user
template does not exist for the authenticated user, the router defaults to the remote
template.
For more information, see Setting Up Template Accounts on page 18.
Before You Begin
Before you perform any system management tasks, you must perform the initial
Services Router configuration described in the Getting Started Guide for your router.
