DCNM : authentification with TACACS+

[delahais]

Hi,

I have configurated an DCNM server with a TACACS+ server in order to authenticate DCNM users as TACACS+ users.

In case of a TACACS+ server failure, i would want to be sure that the authentication DCNM users switch to local DCNM server base.

I could not find this piece of information.

Someone could confirm me this behavior ?

Many thx in advance.

Nicolas.

Hello,

If this is for DCNM LAN, you can use     the pwreset.bat (off of Cisco\Systems\dcm\dcnm\bin) file to switch the authentication to LOCAL.

If you are doing this for a DCNM SAN user, an admin user can change the mode to local in server.properties file (off of Cisco Systems\dcm\fm\conf) and restart the servers. 

# Mode:

#       "local" for locally defined users

#       "radius" for Radius authentication

#       "tacacs" for Cisco TACACS+ authentication

#       "mds" for proxy MDS switch authentication

#       "ldap" for LDAP authentication

authentication.mode=local

Thanks,

Arun
