AAA

AAA configures how remote users should authenticate to the Exinda appliance and what privileges they should receive.

  1. To configure AAA, navigate to System > Authentication > AAA on the Web UI, advanced mode.
  2. Specify the order in which users are authenticated. When a user logs in, the Exinda appliance will try to authenticate them using the authentication methods specified here, in the order they are configured.

    Note:

    This setting is required if you are using a remote access mechanism such as LDAP, Radius or TACACS+.

  3. Click Apply Changes.
  4. Control what privileges remotely authenticated users receive when they login to the Exinda appliance.

    Map Order

    remote-first

    Apply user privileges supplied by the remote authentication mechanism first. If that fails, use the 'Map Default User' setting below.

    remote-only

    Apply user privileges supplied by the remote authentication mechanism first. If that fails, the user will not be authenticated.

    local-only

    Use the 'Map Default User' setting below.

    Map Default User

    If the 'local-only' option is selected above, the user will be given the same privileges as the local user account selected here.
