Security Incoming Authentication
11-2
Note: The login password can be up to 16 characters long. The default password is
“access.”
To require that users enter the login password when logging into a particular port from another serial port,
use the Set/Define Ports Password Enabled command.
Figure 11-2: Requiring Login Password on a Port
By default, incoming Telnet and Rlogin connections are not required to enter the login password. To require
the login password for virtual port connections, use the Set/Define Server Incoming Password command:

11.1.1.2 Username/Password Pair
In addition to the login password, each port may be configured to prompt users for a personal username and
password. When the user enters the username/password pair, the SCS scans the authentication databases
(see Database Configuration on page 11-8) for a matching pair. If a match is not found, the login will not
be permitted.
Figure 11-4: Enabling Username/Password Authentication
To require username/password authentication for virtual port logins, use the Set/Define Ports Authenticate
command, specifying port 0 as the port number. This command prompts the incoming user for a username
and password to be checked against the authentication database.

11.1.1.3 Local Password
PPP or SLIP may be started when a port is in character mode using the Set PPP or Set SLIP commands. If
an incoming user specifies a particular site to be started (for example, Set PPP irvine), the site may prompt
the user for its local (site-specific) password.
To configure a site’s local password, use the Define Site Authentication Local command.
Figure 11-6: Setting a Site’s Local Password
To prompt the user for the local password when attempting to start the site, use the Define Site
Authentication Prompt command.
