set user attr

Configures an authorization attribute in the local database on the WSS for a user with a password.

(To assign authorization attributes in RADIUS, see the documentation for your RADIUS server.)

Syntax set user username attr attribute-name value

username		Username of a user with a password.
attribute-name value		Name and value of an attribute you are using to authorize the user
		for a particular service or session characteristic. For a list of
		authorization attributes and values that you can assign to network
		users, see Table 29 on page 198.
Defaults	None.
Access	Enabled.

Usage To change the value of an attribute, enter set user attr with the new value. To delete an attribute, use clear user attr.

You can assign attributes to individual users and to user groups. If attributes are configured for a user and also for the group the user is in, the attributes assigned to the individual user take precedence for that user. For example, if the start- date attribute configured for a user is sooner than the start-date configured for the user group the user is in, the user’s network access can begin as soon as the user start-date. The user does not need to wait for the user group’s start date.

Examples The following command assigns user Tamara to VLAN orange:

WSS# set user Tamara attr vlan-name orange

success: change accepted.

The following command assigns Tamara to the Mobility Profile tulip.

WSS# set user Tamara attr mobility-profile tulip

success: change accepted.
