Authentication
Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System Plus () is a protocol that handles
authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) services. NetClock supports
pam_tacplus
,
allowing users to validate their username/password when logging into NetClock via a
server. Currently, http/https/ssh/telnet/ftp protocols are supported, i.e. you can
login to a NetClock unit using authentication via applications using any of these pro
tocols.
Caution:
In order to utilize authentication, the account username on the
server must NOT be used with a local user account.
E x a m p l e :
A user with the username
user3
on the server will not be able to login to a NetClock unit,
if on that unit a local user account with the username
user3
exists. However, once the user deleted the
local
user3
account, she will be able to login with the
user3
account.
