Field Authentication List Method 1 Method 2 Method 3 Figure 22: Authentication List Configuration Table 15: Authentication Profile Fields Description The menu allows you to create a new authentication list or to select an existing list to view or configure. Use the menu to select the method that should appear first in the selected authentication login list. User authentication occurs in the order the methods are selected. Possible methods are as follows: • local: The 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. • radius: 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. • tacacs+: 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. • reject: The user is never authenticated. • undefined: The authentication method is unspecified. This option is only available for Method 2 and Method 3. Use the menu to select the method, if any, that should appear second in the selected authentication login list. This is the method that will be used if the first method times out. If you select a method that does not time out as the second method, the third method will not be tried. Use the menu to select the method, if any, that should appear third in the selected authentication login list. Document 34CSFP6XXUWS-SWUM100-D7 Authentication List Configuration Page 73
