RADIUS Attributes for VSE SmartConnect Software User Privileges
When the user logs in, the switch authenticates the appropriate level of access by sending the RADIUS access request (the client authentication request) to the RADIUS authentication server.
If the remote user is successfully authenticated by the authentication server, the switch verifies the privileges of the remote user and authorize the appropriate access. The administrator has an option to allow backdoor access via Telnet. By default, Telnet access is disabled.
Note – To obtain the RADIUS backdoor password for your switch, contact your Service and Support line.
All user privileges, other than those assigned to the Administrator, have to be defined in the RADIUS dictionary. RADIUS attribute 6 (built into all RADIUS servers) defines the adminis- trator. The file name of the dictionary is RADIUS
