Configuring authentication of system users using the CLI
You can configure the Nortel SNAS 4050 cluster to use an external RADIUS
server to authenticate system users. Authentication applies to both CLI and SREM
users.
The user name and password defined on the RADIUS server must be the same as
the user name and password defined on the Nortel SNAS 4050. When the user
logs on, the RADIUS server authenticates the password. The user group (admin,
oper, or certadmin) is picked up from the local definition of the user.
For more information about specifying user names, passwords, and group
assignments for Nortel SNAS 4050 system users, see
“Managing system users and
groups” on page 353
.
When you add an external RADIUS authentication server to the configuration, the
server is automatically assigned an index number. You can add several RADIUS
authentication servers, for backup purposes. Nortel SNAS 4050 authentication
will be performed by an available server with the lowest index number. You can
control authentication server usage by reassigning index numbers (see
“Managing
RADIUS authentication servers using the CLI” on page 493
).
To configure the Nortel SNAS 4050 to support RADIUS authentication of system
users, use the following command:
/cfg/sys/adm/auth
The
Authentication
menu displays.
The
Authentication
menu includes the following options:
/cfg/sys/adm/auth
followed by:

in order to configure external RADIUS authentication
servers for the cluster (see
“Managing RADIUS
authentication servers using the CLI” on page 493
).
