Testing Authentication

Testing Authentication

You can perform authentication testing at any time. For example, before enabling iSCSI authentication for a SCSI routing instance, you can test iSCSI authentication. The user name and password are passed to AAA, which performs authentication using the specified iSCSI authentication list.

The command response indicates a pass or fail status.

iSCSI Authentication

Use the commands in the following procedure to test iSCSI authentication.

 

Command

Description

Step 1

 

 

enable

Enter Administrator mode.

Step 2

 

 

aaa test authentication iscsi

Test the user names and passwords listed in the username database.

 

webservices2 labserver foo

AAA uses the services in the authentication list named

 

aaa test authentication iscsi

webservices2 for authentication (Example 9-1).

 

 

 

webservices2 labserver2 foo2

 

 

 

 

Example 9-1 Testing iSCSI Authentication

*[SN5428-2-MG1]# aaa test authentication iscsi webservices2 labserver foo Sep 02 14:37:00:aaa:AS_NOTICE :Auth test request being queued

Sep 02 14:37:00:aaa:AS_NOTICE :Auth test request complete, status = pass

Enable Authentication

Use the commands in the following procedure to test Enable authentication.

 

Command

Description

Step 1

 

 

enable

Enter Administrator mode.

Step 2

 

 

aaa test authentication enable

Test the password configured for Administrator mode access to the

 

default $enab15$ ciscoadmin

storage router, using the default user name passed to RADIUS

 

 

servers. AAA uses the services in the default authentication list

 

 

(Example 9-2).

 

 

 

Example 9-2 Testing Enable Authentication

*[SN5428-2-MG1]# aaa test authentication enable default $enab15$ ciscoadmin Sep 02 14:37:00:aaa:AS_NOTICE :Auth test request being queued

Sep 02 14:37:00:aaa:AS_NOTICE :Auth test request complete, status = pass
