Authentication List Configuration
Use the Authentication List screen to configure the default login list. A login list specifies one
or more authentication methods to validate switch or port access for the admin user.
Note: Admin is the only user on the system and is assigned to a
preconfigured list named defaultList, which you cannot delete.
HTTP Authentication List
The HTTP authentication list defines the HTTP authentication method used for the default
list.
To change the HTTP authentication method for the defaultList:
1. Select Security
Management Security > Authentication List > HTTP Authentication
List.
2. Select the check box next to the httpList name.
3. Use t
he drop-down menu in the 1 column to select the authentication method that should
appear first in the selected authentication login list.
If you select a method that does not time out as the first method, such as local, no other
met
hod will be tried, even if you have specified more than one method. This parameter
will not appear when you first create a new login list. User authentication occurs in the
order the methods are selected. Possible methods are as follows:
• Local. T
he user's locally stored ID and password will be used for authentication.
Since the local method does not time out, if you select this option as the first method,
no other method will be tried, even if you have specified more than one method.
• RA
DIUS. The user's ID and password will be authenticated using the RADIUS server.
If you select RADIUS or TACACS+ as the first method and an error occurs during the
authentication, the switch uses Method 2 to authenticate the user.
• T
ACACS+. The user's ID and password will be authenticated using the TACACS+
server. If you select RADIUS or TACACS+ as the first method and an error occurs
during the authentication, the switch attempts user authentication Method 2.
• None. Th
e authentication method is unspecified. This option is only available for
Method 2 and Method 3.
