Chapter 7 Authentication in Fabric Manager

Fabric Manager Authentication Overview

Figure 7-1 shows an example configuration for these components.

Figure 7-1 Fabric Manager Authentication Example

Administrators launch Fabric Manager client and select the seed switch that is used to discover the

fabric. The username and password used are passed to Fabric Manager server and used to authenticate

to the seed switch. If this username and password are not a recognized SNMP username and password,

either Fabric Manager client or Fabric Manager server opens a CLI session to the switch (SSH or Telnet)

and retries the username/password pair. If the username and password are recognized by the switch in

either the local switch authentication database or through a remote AAA server, then the switch creates

a temporary SNMP username that is used by Fabric Manager client and server.

Note You may encounter a delay in authentication if you use a remote AAA server to authenticate Fabric

Manager or Device Manager.

Note You must allow CLI sessions to pass through any firewall that exists between Fabric Manager client and

Fabric Manager server. See the “Running Fabric Manager Behind a Firewall” section on page 1-12.

Note We recommend that you use the same password for the SNMPv3 username authentication and privacy

passwords as well as the matching CLI username password.
