Authorization
Chapter 6 - Authorization
Authorization entails determining if a particular user has permission to use a service.
Authorization
The SMS2000 is capable of performing authorization by using an external server (OCS or RADIUS) or by using onboard groups and rules. For details about using the OCS for Authorization, see the OCS User’s Guide. For more information on RADIUS, see Chapter 13, “Using SMS2000 with a RADIUS Server.” Scenarios for performing these functions in various configurations are described below.
