Separating Authentication Methods
You can configure separate authentication methods for accessing the Console port and establishing SSH/telnet
sessions (vty lines).
If you configure globally, access to the Console and vty lines are both authenticated using that
method.
Since the Console port is a last resort access to StarOS, you can configure local authentication for the Console
and employ for the vty lines.
This feature extends to AAA (Authentication, Authorization and Accounting) service as well as local
users. For example, local-users may have only Console access and AAA (VPN context) users with access
only via vty lines.
Important
Separating authentication methods (Console versus vty lines) requires disabling Console access for users
based on the type of authentication.
Disable Authentication for Console
A
noconsole
keyword for the Global Configuration mode
aaa
command disables
authentication on the Console line.
configure
aaa noconsole
exit
By default, server authentication is performed for login from a Console or vty line. With
noconsole
enabled, authentication is bypassed in favor of local database authentication for a console line;
on vty lines, remains enabled.
When
aaa noconsole
is configured, a local user with valid credentials can log into a Console port
even if
on-authen-fail stop
and
on-unknown-user stop
are enabled via the Configuration
mode. If the user is not a user, he/she cannot login on a vty line.
