Configuring switch binding For complete procedures on configuring this optional feature, see ”SANtegrity features” on page 187. Configuring SANtegrity Authentication The Security feature is accessed from the SANtegrity Authentication dialog box in the individual element managers applications. The element manager lets you manage one device at a time. Access the SANtegrity Authentication dialog box by selecting Configure > SANtegrity Authentication.
PAGE 98
On the tool bar the Display By option and the Search Box option are disabled. Accessing SANtegrity Authentication tabs There are five tabs in the Authentication section: • Users—Allows the security administrator to set up users accessing the switch from CLI and web interfaces to the switch or director.
PAGE 99
• Use the Security Change Confirmation and Status dialog box to verify the changes about to be made to each switch or director and to observe the progress of these changes. The Security Change Confirmation and Status dialog box includes the user ID who initiated the changes, the time that the changes were planned, the Server ID from which the changes are populated, and all of the affected switches and directors. Server ID is identified by its server name plus IP address.
PAGE 100
• Local Only—Each switch or director uses its local user database for authentication. • Radius then Local—the switch or director uses the Radius server, if available, to authenticate users. If the Radius server is not available, then the local database is used. • Radius Only—Radius server is used to authenticate users. If the Radius server is not available, then users cannot connect.
PAGE 101
If Radius Only is selected from the list, your HAFM appliance checks the Radius information to see whether or not any Radius server has been specified. If not, the application prevents the user from selecting this option and a message is displayed. If the Radius server is already set, the security administrator is alerted that the user information on the Radius server needs to be entered manually, because that information cannot be populated automatically by the HAFM appliance.
PAGE 102
Using the Security Change Confirmation and Status dialog box Clicking OK on the Apply to Other Products dialog box or clicking Apply from the Users tab, displays the Security Change Confirmation and Status dialog box (Figure 36).
