Authorization and accounting

The following objects are for authorization, and accounting functions.

Name, Identifier, and Syntax	Access	Description

snAuthorizationExec	Read-write	Shows the authorization method for exec programs. This object
brcdIp.1.1.3.15.2.3		can have zero to one octet. The octet represents a method for
Syntax: OctetString		Telnet or SSH login authorization. The octet can have one of the
		following values:
		•	tacplus(5) – Send EXEC authorization request to TACACS+
		•	server
		•	none(6) – No EXEC authorization method
		Setting a zero length octet string invalidates all authorization
		methods.

snAccountingExec	Read-write	Shows the accounting method for exec programs. This object
brcdIp.1.1.3.15.3.3		can have zero to one octet. The octet represents a method for
Syntax: OctetString		Telnet or SSH login accounting. The octet can have one of the
		following values:
		•	radius(2) – Send accounting information to the RADIUS
		•	server
		•	tacplus(5) – Send accounting information to the TACACS+
		•	server
		•	none(6) – No accounting method

Setting a zero length octet string invalidates all accounting methods.
