Description

This command configures the authentication method for a user at log in.

Use the command authentication-mode password to prompt a user for local password authentication at login. To set the password, use set authentication password.

Use the command authentication-mode scheme to prompt a user to provide local or remote user name and password authentication at login. The type of the authentication depends on your network configuration. For further information, see “AAA and RADIUS”.
