Authentication in Fabric Manager

Fabric Manager contains interdependent software components that communicate with the switches in

your fabric. These components use varying methods to authenticate to other components and switches.

This chapter describes these authentication steps and the best practices for setting up your fabric and

components for authentication.

This chapter contains the following sections:

•Fabric Manager Authentication Overview, page 7-1

•Best Practices for Discovering a Fabric, page 7-3

•Performance Manager Authentication, page 7-3

•Fabric Manager Web Services Authentication, page 7-4

Fabric Manager Authentication Overview

Fabric Manager contains multiple components that interact to manage a fabric. These components

include:

•Fabric Manager client

•Fabric Manager server

•Performance Manager

•Interconnected fabric of Cisco MDS 9000 switches and storage devices

•AAA server (optional)
