Chapter 6 Configuring authentication 265

The Local database menu includes the following options:

/cfg/domain 1/aaa/auth #/local followed by:

add <user name>

Adds a user to the local authentication database. You

<password> <group>

are prompted for the following information:

 

user name — a string that specifies a unique

 

user logon name. There are no restrictions on the

 

NSNAS regarding acceptable user names.

 

However, if you want the user name in the local

 

database to mirror the Windows login name,

 

observe Windows username conventions (for

 

example, keep the length to no more than 32

 

characters).

 

When the client attempts to log on to the Nortel

 

SNAS 4050 domain and local database

 

authentication is applied, the client is prompted for

 

the user name and password you define for the

 

database.

 

password — the password that applies to the

 

user you specified. To use the local database for

 

authorization only, after an external authentication

 

server has authenticated the user, enter an

 

asterisk (*).

 

group — the name of the group to which the

 

specified user belongs. The group must exist in the

 

NSNAS domain. The group name is used for

 

authorization. To view available group names, press

 

TAB or use the /cfg/domain 1/aaa/

 

cur group command.

 

 

passwd <user name>

Changes the specified user’s password in the local

<password>

database.

 

 

groups <user name>

Changes the specified user’s group membership in the

<desired group>

local database.

 

 

del <user name>

Deletes the specified user from the local database.

 

 

list

Lists all users added to the local database by user

 

name, password (encrypted), and group membership.

 

The command displays a maximum of 100 database

 

entries at a time. If there are more than 100 entries in

 

the database, you can limit the display by using a string

 

of characters directly followed by an asterisk (*). For

 

example, the command list jo* displays all entries

 

with user names starting with jo.
