Configure Authentication Methods for Port Access
Authentication can be performed either through 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 configuring the Digi
Passport unit for authentication.
To configure the Digi Passport unit for authentication:
1. Enter the IP address of the Digi Passport unit in the address bar of a
web browser to access the web interface.
2. Select Serial port > Configuration.
3. Select All > Authentication or port number > Authentication.
4. From the pulldown menu, select an authentication method. A
configuration screen for the selected authentication method is
displayed. This figure displays the options for setting up a RADIUS
server as the primary authentication server and Local authentication if
the primary authentication method fails.
Note: To access the remote authentication to Port access menu, select
Serial port > Configuration > Port access Menu.
5. Fill in the applicable fields.
6. Click Save & apply.
Note: Under Serial port > Connection, The # of User column shows
how many users are actually connected to the port and the
username of the read/write user.
