Specifying authentication fallback order
Authentication in the Nortel SNAS is performed by checking client
credentials against available authentication databases until the first match
is found. You specify the order in which the Nortel SNAS applies the
methods configured for the Nortel SNAS domain.
Perform this step even if there is only one method defined on the Nortel
SNAS.
ATTENTION
For best performance, set the authentication order so that the method that
supports the biggest proportion of users is applied first. However, if you use
the Nortel SNAS local database as one of the authentication methods, Nortel
recommends that you set the Local method to be first in the authentication
order. The Local method is performed extremely fast, regardless of the number
of users in the database. Response times for the other methods depend on
such factors as current network load, server performance, and number of users
in the database.
To specify the authentication fallback order, use the following command:
/cfg/doamin #/aaa/authorder <auth ID>[,<auth ID>]
When prompted, enter the authentication method IDs in the order in which
you want the methods applied. Use a comma to separate the entries.
