9. Authentication

The console server platform is a dedicated Linux computer and embodies myriad popular and proven Linux software modules

for networking, secure access (OpenSSH), communications (OpenSSL) and sophisticated user authentication (PAM, RADIUS,

TACACS+, Kerberos and LDAP).

More details on RSA SecurID and working with Windows IAS can be found on online FAQs.

9.1 Authentication Conﬁguration

Authentication can be performed locally or remotely using an LDAP, Radius, Kerberos or TACACS+ authentication server. The

default authentication method for the console server is Local.

Any authentication method that is conﬁgured will be used for authentication of any user who attempts to log in through telnet,

SSH or the web manager to the console server, connected serial port and network host devices.

The console server can be conﬁgured to the default (Local) or an alternate authentication method (TACACS, RADIUS, LDAP

or Kerberos) with the option of a selected order in which local and remote authentication is used:

Local TACACS /RADIUS/LDAP/Kerberos: Tries local authentication ﬁrst, then remote if local fails.

TACACS /RADIUS/LDAP/Kerberos Local: Tries remote authentication ﬁrst, the local if remote fails.

TACACS /RADIUS/LDAP/Kerberos Down Local: Tries remote authentication ﬁrst, then local if the remote authentication

returns an error condition (e.g., the remote authentication server is down or inaccessible).
