radius authentication to APIC over ssh

[baanderson]

We have configured our APIC's to accept radius authentication and this is working for the web GUI. Is there a way to configure this so that if I am trying to troubleshoot from the CLI that i can use radius to authenticate?

When you try to log in via SSH, what user name format do you use? 

The correct format should be like the one below.

apic#<domain>\\<username>

Note you must use the “apic#” before the domain name. For example, if you want to log in using the fallback domain and username admin, you would use  “apic#fallback\\admin”

Thank you very much. The incorrect format I was using was <domain>\<username>. I have verified with the format you posted below and I am able to successfully authenticate my SSH sessions.
