Example user configuration

Example 1: Administrator user with local authentication

Goal: To create a user with administrator rights who is authenticated locally on the device.



Example 2: RADIUS, TACACS+, and local authentication for one user

Goal: To create a user with administrator rights who is authenticated by using all three authentication methods.

In this example, when the user attempts to log in to the Connect EZ 16/32 device, user authentication will occur in the following order:

  1. The user is authenticated by the RADIUS server. If the RADIUS server is unavailable,
  2. The user is authenticated by the TACACS+ server. If both the RADIUS and TACACS+ servers are unavailable,
  3. The user is authenticated by the Connect EZ 16/32 device using local authentication.

This example uses a FreeRadius 3.0 server running on ubuntu, and a TACACS+ server running on ubuntu. Server configuration may vary depending on the platforms or type of servers used in your environment.
