Device Modes application-accelerator
Usage Guidelines The authentication command configures both the authentication and authorization methods that govern
login and configuration access to the WAAS device.
Note We strongly recommend that you use the WAAS Central Manager GUI instead of the WAAS CLI to
configure administrative login authentication and authorization for your WAAS devices, if possible. For
information about how to use the WAAS Central Manager GUI to centrally configure administrative
login authentication and authorization on a single WAE or group of WAEs, which are registered with a
WAAS Central Manager, see the Cisco Wide Area Application Services Configuration Guide.
The authentication login command determines whether the user has any level of permission to access
the WAAS device. The authentication configuration command authorizes the user with privileged
access (configuration access) to the WAAS device.
The authentication login local and the authentication configuration local commands use a local
database for authentication and authorization.
The authentication login tacacs and authentication configuration tacacs commands use a remote
TACACS+ server to determine the level of user access. The WAAS software supports only TACACS+
and not TACACS or Extended TACACS.
To configure TACACS+, use the authentication and tacacs commands. To enable TACACS+, use the
tacacs enable command. For more information on TACACS+ authentication, see the (config) tacacs
command.
content-request Authenticates a request for content.
Note This option is available in the application-accelerator device mode
only.
windows-domain-ctrl Selects a Windows domain controller for domain server authentication.
disconnected-mode
enable
