Defining Authentication Profiles
Authentication profiles allow network administrators to assign authentication methods for user authentication.
User authentication can be performed either locally or on an external server. User authentication occurs in the
order the methods are selected. If the first authentication method is not available, the next selected method is
used. For example, if the selected authentication methods are RADIUS and Local, and the RADIUS server is not
available, then the user is authenticated locally.
To define Authentication profiles:
1. Click Mgmt. Security > Authentication Profiles. The Authentication Profiles Page opens:
Figure 16: Authentication Profiles Page
The Authentication Profiles Page contains two tables which display the currently defined profiles:
• Login Authentication Profiles — Provides the method by which system users logon to the device.
• Enable Authentication Profiles — Provides user authentication levels for users accessing the device.
Each table contains the following fields:
• Profile Name — Contains a list of user-defined authentication profile lists to which user-defined
authentication profiles are added. The default configuration displays as: Console Default, and Network
Default.
• Methods — Indicates the authentication method for the selected authentication profile. The possible
authentication methods are:
– None — Assigns no authentication method to the authentication profile.
– Line — Indicates that authentication uses a line password.
– Enable — Indicates that authentication uses an Enable password.
