Fabric Manager Web Server Authentication
Fabric Manager Web Server does not communicate directly with any switches in the fabric. Fabric Manager Web Server uses its own user name and password combination that is either stored locally or stored remotely on an AAA server.
We recommend that you use a RADIUS or TACACS+ server to authenticate users in Fabric Manager Web Server.
To configure Fabric Manager Web Server to use RADIUS authentication, follow these steps:
- Launch Fabric Manager Web Server.
- Click the Admin tab > Web Users to update the authentication used by Fabric Manager Web Server.
- Click AAA.
- Set the authenticationmode attribute to radius.
- Set the RADIUS server name, shared secret, authentication method, and ports used for up to three RADIUS servers.
- Click Modify to save this information.
To configure Fabric Manager Web Server to use TACACS+ authentication, follow these steps:
- Launch Fabric Manager Web Server.
- Click Admin > Web Users to update the authentication used by Fabric Manager Web Server.
- Click AAA.
- Set the authenticationmode attribute to tacacs.
- Set the TACACS+ server name, shared secret, authentication method, and port used for up to three TACACS+ servers.
- Click Modify to save this information.
