Software User Manual 12/10/09 D-Link Unified Access System USER LOGIN Each configured user is assigned to a login list that specifies how the user should be authenticated when attempting to access the switch or a port on the switch. After creating a new user account on the User Account screen, you can use the User Login page to assign the user to a login list for the switch. The pre-configured users, admin and guest, are assigned to a pre-configured list named defaultList, which you may not delete. All newly created users are also assigned to the defaultList until you specifically assign them to a different list. To create a new authentication list, see "Use the Authentication List page to configure login lists. A login list specifies one or more authentication methods to validate switch or port access for the users associated with the list." on page 72. To access the User Login page, click LAN > Administration > User Login in the navigation tree. Figure 25: User Login Field User Authentication List Table 18: User Login Fields Description The menu contains all configured users in the system and a Non-Configured user. The Non-configured user is a user who does not have an account configured on the switch. If you assign the Non-configured user to a login list that specifies authentication via the RADIUS server, you will not need to create an account for all users on each switch. However, by default the Non-configured user is assigned to defaultList, which by default uses local authentication. Select the authentication login list you want to assign to the user for system login. Assigning a User to an Authentication List The admin (Read/Write) user is always associated with the default list, which forces the admin user to always be authenticated locally to prevent full lockout from switch configuration. If you assign a user to a login list that requires remote authentication, the user's access to the switch from all CLI, Web, and telnet sessions will be blocked until the authentication is complete. For more information, see the Max Number of Retransmits field in "RADIUS Settings" on page 391. 1 Select the user name from the User field's menu, or select Non-configured user to assign all users that are not configured on the switch to an authentication list. The screen refreshes. The list that the user is currently assigned to is highlighted in the Authentication List field. 2 To assign the user to a different list, click the list name in the Authentication List field to select the list. 3 Click Submit to apply the changes to the switch.
