264Chapter 6 Configuring authentication

Managing the local database using the CLI

You can add users to the database in two ways:

•manually, using the /cfg/domain 1/aaa/auth #/local/add command

•by importing a database, using the /cfg/domain 1/aaa/auth #/local/ import command

Note: The imported database overwrites existing entries in the local database.

You can use the local database for authorization only, after an external authentication server has authenticated the user. To do so, use an asterisk (*) for the user password in the local database. For information about configuring the Nortel SNAS 4050 to perform external database authentication in conjunction with local database authorization, see “Configuring advanced settings using the CLI” on page 241.

To manage users and their passwords in the local database, use the following command:

/cfg/domain 1/aaa/auth #/local

The Local database menu displays.
