Configuring Authentication
This chapter explains how to configure the authentication portion of Cisco’s authentication,
authorization and accounting (AAA) services on the SN 5428-2 Storage Router and how to configure
Enable, Login and iSCSI authentication, which use AAA services.
The following tasks are covered:
• Prerequisite Tasks, page 9-2

Chapter 9 Configuring Authentication Prerequisite Tasks Prerequisite Tasks Before performing AAA configuration tasks on the storage router, make sure you have configured system parameters as described in Chapter 2, “First-Time Configuration,” or Chapter 3, “Configuring System Parameters.” If the storage router is deployed for SCSI routing, you should also configure SCSI routing instances as described in Chapter 6, “Configuring SCSI Routing,” before proceeding. See the iSCSI driver rea

Chapter 9 Configuring Authentication Using Authentication Enable Authentication When configured, a user enters password information each time the CLI enable command is entered from the management console, or from a Telnet or SSH management session. If the storage router is configured to allow FTP access, Enable authentication also authenticates users attempting to login and establish an FTP session with the storage router. Using RADIUS Security Servers Because the enable command does n

Chapter 9 Configuring Authentication Configuring Authentication Services Configuring Authentication Services Configuring authentication services consists of setting the appropriate parameters for the various AAA service options that can be used by the storage router. The storage router can use any or all of the supported services: � RADIUS � TACACS+ � Local username database � Enable � Monitor Use the procedures that follow to configure the storage router to use each of these services.

However, they are changed to “XXXXX” in the CLI command history cache, and are stored in the local username database in an encrypted format. � If the password contains embedded spaces, enclose it with single or double quotes. � After initial entry, passwords display in their encrypted format.

Chapter 9 Configuring Authentication Creating Named Server Groups Creating Named Server Groups By default, you can use all configured RADIUS or TACACS+ servers for authentication. All configured RADIUS servers belong to the default group named radius. All configured TACACS+ servers belong to the default group named tacacs+. You can also create named groups of RADIUS or TACACS+ servers, to be used for specific authentication purposes. For example, you can use a subset of all configured

For example, add the sysadmin server 10.7.0.22 TACACS+ server at IP address 10.7.0.22 to the group named sysadmin. Because no port is specified, authentication requests to this server use the default port 49. Servers are accessed in the order in which they are defined within the named group.
