CONFIGURING USER LEVEL DATABASES

OVERVIEW

User level security is an authentication process between a specific user and a device. The authentication process is interactive; users connect to a terminal server and need to interact with it in order to communicate with other devices beyond the server. The CyberSWITCH supports user level security through the RADIUS, TACACS, or ACE Server.

This chapter provides information for enabling an off-node user level database. Refer to the chapter Configuring Off-node Server Information for configuration instructions for specific servers.
