CDSMs, SEs, and SRs. Login authentication is the process by which the devices verify whether the

person who is attempting to log in to the device has a valid username and password. The person logging

in must have a user account registered with the device. User account information serves to authorize the

user for login and configuration privileges. The user account information is stored in an authentication,

authorization, and accounting (AAA) database, and the devices must be configured to access the

particular authentication server (or servers) where the AAA database is kept.

In a CDS network, user accounts can be created for access to the CDSM and, independently, for access

to the SEs and SRs that are registered to the CDSM. For user accounts that access the CDSM, see

“Configuring AAA” section on page 6-1.

the device only.

Note If you plan to use a RADIUS server for authentication, you must configure RADIUS server settings

before you configure and submit these settings. See the “Configuring a RADlUS Server” section on

page 4-54 for RADIUS server settings information.

When the primary login server and the primary configuration server are set to local, usernames and

passwords are local to each device. Local authentication and authorization uses locally configured login

and passwords to authenticate login attempts.

By default, local login authentication is enabled. You can disable local login authentication only after

enabling one or more of the other login authentication servers. However, when local login authentication

is disabled, if you disable all other login authentication methods, local login authentication is re-enabled

automatically.

Caution Make sure that RADIUS authentication is configured and operating correctly before disabling local

authentication and authorization. If you disable local authentication and RADIUS is not configured

correctly, or if the RADIUS server is not online, you may be unable to log in to the device.

To configure the login authentication and configuration authorization schemes for the SE, do the
