Fabric OS Commands Chapter 2 aaaConfig Synopsis Description Manages RADIUS and LDAP configuration information. aaaconfig aaaconfig --show aaaconfig --add | --change server -conf radius|ldap [-p port] [-d domain][-t timeout] [-s secret] [-a chap | pap | peap-mschapv2] aaaconfig --remove server -conf radius|ldap aaaconfig --move server -conf radius|ldap to_position aaaconfig --authspec aaa1[;aaa2 [-backup] aaaconfig --help Use this command to manage the RADIUS and LDAP server configuration for the authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) services. Use this command to display, add, remove, change, enable or disable the RADIUS or LDAP configuration. Switches running Fabric OS v5.2.0 or later use a local as well as a remote authentication mechanism for validating a login. Supported authentication protocols include Password Authentication Protocol (PAP), Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) and, for switches running Fabric OS v5.3.0 or later, Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP). In addition, Fabric OS v6.0.0 provides support for Light-weight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) authentication against Active Directory for user authentication and authorization. RADIUS or LDAP servers are contacted in the order they appear in the configuration list. The first server returning authentication success or failure causes the authentication request to succeed or fail. If no response is received within the specified timeout, the next RADIUS or LDAP server in the list is contacted. An event entry logs if all RADIUS or LDAP servers fail to respond. When the command succeeds, it triggers an event log (the Fabric OS error log) to indicate a server is added, removed, or modified. Refer to the Fabric OS Message Reference manual for specific details. There are two modes of operation in LDAP authentication, FIPS mode and non-FIPS mode. However, there is no option to configure LDAP while the switch is in FIPS mode. The LDAP client checks if FIPS mode is set on the switch and uses FIPS-compliant TLS ciphers for LDAP. If FIPS mode is not set and the ADir server is configured for FIPS ciphers, it uses FIPS-compliant ciphers. Fabric OS v6.1.0 and later is required to configure LDAP to use FIPS-compliant ciphers. Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for configuration procedures. Configuration changes are persistently saved and take effect with the next AAA request. The configuration applies to all switch instances in a platform supporting multiple switch domains. Fabric OS Command Reference 5 53-1001337-01
