Configuring local database authentication using the CLI

You can configure the Nortel SNAS 4050 domain to use a local database for authentication. To configure the Local database method, perform the following steps:

1Create the Local database method (see “Adding the local database authentication method using the CLI” on page 261).

Note: If you ran the quick setup wizard during initial setup, Local database authentication has been created with authentication ID = 1. The database contains one test user (tg), who belongs to a group called tunnelguard. To continue configuring the local database, go to “Managing the local database using the CLI” on page 264.

2Populate the database (see “Managing the local database using the CLI” on page 264).

3Save a backup copy of the database, using the /cfg/domain 1/aaa/ auth #/local/export command (see “Managing the local database using the CLI” on page 264).

4Modify settings for the authentication method itself, if desired (see “Configuring authentication methods using the CLI” on page 239).

5Set the authentication order (see “Specifying authentication fallback order using the CLI” on page 267).

Adding the local database authentication method using the CLI

To create the Local database authentication method, use the following command:

/cfg/domain 1/aaa/auth <auth ID>
