Examples
The following command configures a proxy authentication rule that matches on all
usernames associated with SSID mycorp. MSS uses RADIUS server group srvrgrp1 to proxy
RADIUS requests and hence to authenticate and authorize the users.
MX# set authentication proxy ssid mycorp ** srvrgrp1

set authentication web
Configures an authentication rule that allows a user to log into the network using a web page
served by the MX. The rule can be activated if the user is not otherwise granted or denied access
by 802.1X, or granted access by MAC authentication.
Syntax
set authentication web {ssid ssid-name | wired} user-glob
method1 [method2] [method3] [method4]
Defaults
By default, authentication is unconfigured for all clients with network access through
MP ports or wired authentication ports on the MX switch. Connection, authorization, and
accounting are also disabled for these users.
Access
Enabled.
History
Introduced in MSS 3.0. Added LDAP in MSS 7.1.
Usage
You can configure different authentication methods for different groups of users by
“globbing.” (For details, see “User Globs” on page 2–7.)
You can configure a rule either for wireless access to an SSID, or for wired access through an MX
wired authentication port. If the rule is for wireless access to an SSID, specify the SSID name or
specify any to match on all SSID names. If the rule is for wired access, specify wired instead of
an SSID name.
user-glob A single user or a set of users.
Specify a username, use the double-asterisk wildcard character (**)
to specify all usernames, or use the single-asterisk wildcard character
(*) to specify a set of usernames up to or following the first delimiter
character—either an at sign (@) or a period (.). (For details, see “User
Globs” on page 2–7.)
ssid
ssid-name
SSID name to which this authentication rule applies. To apply the
rule to all SSIDs, type any.
wired Applies this authentication rule specifically to users connected to a
wired authentication port.
method1
method2
method3
method4
At least one and up to four methods that MSS uses to handle
authentication. Specify one or more of the following methods in
priority order. MSS applies multiple methods in the order you enter
them.
A method can be one of the following:
❑ local—Uses the local database of usernames and user groups on
the MX switch for authentication.
❑ server-group-name—Uses the defined group of RADIUS servers
for authentication. You can enter up to four names of existing
RADIUS server groups as methods.
RADIUS servers cannot be used with the EAP-TLS protocol.
❑ ldap_group_name —Uses the defined group of LDAP servers for
authentication. You can configure up to four LDAP server groups.
