Creating and Setting Group Membership

Chapter 5 Customizing Your Configuration

Configuring Groups

Table 5-1 Configuring UserGroups

Object	Action

UserGroups	Add a new UserGroup

UserLists	Set group membership

Step 1 Run the aregcmd command:

aregcmd

Step 2 Use the cd command to change to the UserGroups object.

cd /Radius/UserGroups

Step 3 Use the add command to create a user group, specifying the name and optional description, BaseProfile, AuthenticationScript, or AuthorizationScript. The following example shows how to add the PPP-users group.

This example sets the BaseProfile to default-PPP-users. When you set this property to the name of a profile, Cisco AR adds the properties in the profile to the response dictionary as part of the authorization process.

add PPP-users "Users who always connect using PPP" default-PPP-users

Step 4 Use the cd command to change to the user you want to include in this group. The following example shows how to change to the user, jean:

cd /Radius/UserLists/Default/jean

Step 5 Use the set command to set the user’s group membership to the name of the group you have just created. set group PPP-users

Step 6 Use the save command to save your changes.

save

Step 7 Use the reload command to reload the server.

reload

Note You must save whenever you have changed the configuration, either through adds, deletes, or sets. Before you exit, log out, or reload, Cisco AR prompts you to save. You must reload after all saves except when you have only made changes to individual users (either adds, deletes, or sets). Unlike all other changes, Cisco AR reads user records on demand; that is, when there is a request from that user.
