Chapter 2 Configuring User Profiles and CSS Parameters

Controlling Remote Access to the CSS

To control remote access to the CSS, use the virtual command or the console command. By using virtual commands, you allow users to log into the CSS remotely with or without requiring a username and password, or you can deny all remote access to users. Telnet, FTP, SSHD, and the Device Management user interface are examples of remote access. By using console commands, you specify whether console port authentication of locally-defined usernames and passwords logging into the CSS is enabled.

Note Before you can use RADIUS as either the virtual authentication method or the console authentication method, you must enable communication with the RADIUS security server using the radius-servercommand (refer to “Configuring the CSS as a Client of a RADIUS Server” earlier in this chapter for details).

The virtual command provides the following options:

•virtual authentication - Requires users to enter a login name and password to log into the CSS and perform a virtual access (default). The local database is checked in this option.

•virtual authentication disallowed - Prevents additional virtual users from logging into the CSS. This selection does not terminate existing connections.

Note To remove users already logged into the CSS, use the admin-shutdowncommand.

•virtual authentication local-radius- Checks the local username database for authentication. If local authentication is unsuccessful, the CSS performs a RADIUS server authentication to verify username and password.

•virtual authentication radius - Performs a RADIUS server authentication to verify username and password.
