Configuring Authentication Methods for Port Access
Users can choose between having a single authentication method, such as RADIUS, or an authentication method where a Local
authentication service is used in addition to the RADIUS, LDAP, TACACS+ server, or Kerberos. These options are listed when
the SERIMUX is configured for authentication. To configure a SERIMUX for authentication, do the following:
1. Access the web interface.
2. Under the Serial Port heading, choose Configuration.
3. Choose All or an Individual port > Authentication.
4. From the drop down menu, choose an authentication method. A configuration screen for that particular authentication method is
displayed. The following figure displays the parameters for setting up a RADIUS server as the primary authentication server
and Local authentication if the primary authentication method fails.
