HTTPS Authentication List
The HTTPS authentication list defines the HTTPS authentication method used for the default
list.
To change the HTTPS authentication method for the defaultList:
1. Select Security Management Security > Authentication List > HTTPS Authentication
List.
2. Select the check box next to the httpsList name.
3. Use the drop-down menu in the 1 column to select the authentication method that should
appear first in the selected authentication login list.
If you select a method that does not time out as the first method, such as ‘local’, no other
method will be tried, even if you have specified more than one method. This parameter
will not appear when you first create a new login list. User authentication occurs in the
order the methods are selected. Possible methods are as follows:
•Local. The user's locally stored ID and password will be used for authentication.
Since the local method does not time out, if you select this option as the first method,
no other method will be tried, even if you have specified more than one method.
•RADIUS. The user's ID and password will be authenticated using the RADIUS server.
If you select RADIUS or TACACS+ as the first method and an error occurs during the
authentication, the switch uses Method 2 to authenticate the user.
