Fabric Interconnect LDAP authentication

[Dougieoz24_2]

Hi Guys,

I am currently running UCSM 2.0(2q)

I was wondering if there was a way to setup LDAP authentication when logging into through SSH to the FIs?

I have setup all the group mappings and added the relevant users to those groups without any issues but i cannot seem to figure out how to get LDAP to authenticate when using an SSH session on the FI.

Anyone set this up before?

Thanks

Doug,

Are you sure you're using the correct syntax when logging in via CLI?

If AD authentication works via the GUI, it should work from CLI.

Thats great thanks Robert.

Another question. Is it possible to have RBAC control when the login through CLI? Is this defined through the roles and groups they are a member of?

Thanks

Dougie

Hi Dougie,

You can achieve this by changing the "native Authentication" configuration.

Admin tab -> User management -> Authentication -> native Authentication -> Default Authentication -> Realm -> (default is set to local, you can choose the option from the drop down for LDAP).

Thanks!
