167 | Authentication and User Management Dell Networking W-Series Instant 6.4.3.1-4.2.0.0 | User Guide
Parameter Description
Filter Specify the filter to apply when searching for a user in the LDAP database. The default filter string is
(objectclass=*).
Key
Attribute
Specify the attribute to use as a key while searching for the LDAP server. For Active Directory, the
value is sAMAccountName
Timeout Enter a value between 1 and 30 seconds. The default value is 5.
Retry count Enter a value between 1 and 5. The default value is 3.
Dead Time Specify a dead time for authentication server in minutes within the range of 1-1440 minutes. The
default dead time interval is 5 minutes.
When two or more authentication servers are configured on the W-IAP and a server is unavailable,
the dead time configuration determines the duration for which the authentication server would be
available if the server is marked as unavailable.
l TACACS—To configure TACACS server, select the TACACS option and configure the following parameters:
Parameter Description
Name Enter a name for the server.
IPaddress Enter the IP address of the TACACS server.
Auth Port Enter aTCPIPport used by the server. The default port number is 49.
Shared Key Enter a secret key of your choice to authenticate communication between the TACACS+ client and
server.
Retype Key Re-enter shared key.
Timeout Enter a number between 1 and 30 seconds to indicate the timeout period for TACACS+ requests.
The default value is 20 seconds.
Retry Count Enter a number between 1 and 5 to indicate the maximum number of authentication attempts. The
default value is 3.
Dead time Specify a dead time in minutes within the range of 1-1440 minutes. The default dead time interval is
5 minutes.
Session
