Cisco UCS Central Authentication
Cisco UCS Central supports either local or LDAP-based authentication. Other authentication types, such as TACACs+ or RADIUS, are supported in v1.4 and higher. They are not supported for earlier versions. You can use Cisco UCS Central to configure these authentication types for Cisco UCS Manager through operational administrative policies.
Note |
Do not use ‘$’ as a password character when using local authentication. |
In Cisco UCS Central, you can only activate one defined form of native authentication exclusively (either local or LDAP). Cisco UCS Central allows selecting from multiple authentication domains. Unlike Cisco UCS Manager, it does not currently support configuring multiple authentication realms.
Cisco UCS Central includes third-party and self-signed certificate support for LDAP integration and user authentication.
