TACACS+ Authentication

How Authentication Operates

Local Authentication Process

When the switch is configured to use TACACS+, it reverts to local authentication only if one of these two conditions exists:

■"Local" is the authentication option for the access method being used.

■ TACACS+ is the primary authentication mode for the access method being used. However, the switch was unable to connect to any TACACS+ servers (or no servers were configured) AND Local is the secondary authentication mode being used.

(For a listing of authentication options, see table 2-2, “Primary/Secondary Authentication Table” on 2-13.)

For local authentication, the switch uses the operator-level and manager-level username/password set(s) previously configured locally on the switch. (These are the usernames and passwords you can configure using the CLI password command, the web browser interface, or the menu interface—which enables only local password configuration).

■

■

If the operator at the requesting terminal correctly enters the user- name/password pair for either access level, access is granted.

If the username/password pair entered at the requesting terminal does not match either username/password pair previously configured locally in the switch, access is denied. In this case, the terminal is again prompted to enter a username/password pair. In the default configuration, the switch allows up to three attempts. If the requesting terminal exhausts the attempt limit without a successful authentica tion, the login session is terminated and the operator at the requesting terminal must initiate a new session before trying again.

Note	The switch’s menu allows you to configure only the local Operator and
	Manager passwords, and not any usernames. In this case, all prompts for local
	authentication will request only a local password. However, if you use the CLI
	or the web browser interface to configure usernames for local access, you will
	see a prompt for both a local username and a local password during local
	authentication.
