9. Authentication The console server platform is a dedicated Linux computer and embodies myriad popular and proven Linux software modules for networking, secure access (OpenSSH), communications (OpenSSL) and sophisticated user authentication (PAM, RADIUS, TACACS+, Kerberos and LDAP). More details on RSA SecurID and working with Windows IAS can be found on online FAQs. 9.1 Authentication Configuration Authentication can be performed locally or remotely using an LDAP, Radius, Kerberos or TACACS+ authentication server. The default authentication method for the console server is Local. Any authentication method that is configured will be used for authentication of any user who attempts to log in through telnet, SSH or the web manager to the console server, connected serial port and network host devices. The console server can be configured to the default (Local) or an alternate authentication method (TACACS, RADIUS, LDAP or Kerberos) with the option of a selected order in which local and remote authentication is used: Local TACACS /RADIUS/LDAP/Kerberos: Tries local authentication first, then remote if local fails. TACACS /RADIUS/LDAP/Kerberos Local: Tries remote authentication first, the local if remote fails. TACACS /RADIUS/LDAP/Kerberos Down Local: Tries remote authentication first, then local if the remote authentication returns an error condition (e.g., the remote authentication server is down or inaccessible). 9.1.1 Local Authentication • Select Serial and Network > Authentication.
