Enable authentication

Chapter 9 Configuring Authentication

Creating Authentication Lists

Use the commands in the following procedure to build a default list of authentication services to be used for Enable authentication. Building the default list completes the configuration of Enable authentication and makes it immediately effective.

	Command	Description
Step 1
Step 1	enable	Enter Administrator mode.
Step 2
Step 2	aaa authentication enable	Create a default list of authentication services for Enable
	default group sysadmin enable	authentication.
		For example, create a list so that AAA first tries to perform
		authentication using the TACACS+ servers in the group named
		sysadmin. If no TACACS+ server is found, TACACS+ returns an
		error and AAA attempts authentication using the configured
		Administrator mode password. If the password you entered does
		not match the configured Administrator mode password,
		authentication fails and no other methods are attempted.

•RADIUS servers are passed the default user name, $enab15$, along with the entered password for authentication purposes.

•TACACS+ servers are passed the user name used at login, along with the entered password, for authentication purposes. If a user name was not needed for login, the storage router prompts the user to enter a user name, along with the enable password, when the enable command is issued.

Tip You must configure the databases used by the RADIUS or TACACS+ servers with the appropriate user name and password information.

Note Local and local-case services cannot be used for Enable authentication.

Login authentication

Use the commands in the following procedure to build a default list of authentication services to be used for Login authentication. Building the default list completes the configuration of Login authentication and makes it immediately effective.

	Command	Description
Step 1
Step 1	enable	Enter Administrator mode.
Step 2
Step 2	aaa authentication login default	Create a default list of authentication services for Login
	group sysadmin monitor	authentication.
		For example, create a list so that AAA first tries to perform
		authentication using the TACACS+ servers in the group named
		sysadmin. If no TACACS+ server is found, TACACS+ returns an
		error and AAA attempts authentication using the configured
		Monitor mode password (eliminating authentication of the user
		name). If the password you entered does not match the configured
		Monitor mode password, authentication fails and no other methods
		are attempted.
