Configuring More Than One Authentication Method (SRC CLI)

Tasks to configure more than one authentication method at the SRC CLI are:

Configuring Authentication Order

To configure the order in which to use authentication servers:

From configuration mode, access the [system] hierarchy level.
Specify the authentication order. [edit system] user@host# set authentication-order [(radius | tacplus | password)]
Specify one or more of the following in the preferred order, from first authentication method tried to last tried:
- radius—Verify the user using RADIUS authentication services.
- tacplus—Verify the user using TACACS+ authentication services.
- password—Verify the user using the password configured for the user with the authentication statement at the [edit system login user] hierarchy level.

If you do not include the authentication-order statement, users are verified based on their configured passwords.

Configuring TACACS+ or RADIUS Authentication

To configure the SRC software to try to authenticate users through TACACS+ and, if the TACACS+ server is unavailable, to use password authentication:

Specify the following authentication order:[edit] user@host# set system authentication-order [tacplus password]
or
[edit] user@host# set system authentication-order tacplus

To configure the SRC software to try to authenticate users through RADIUS and, if the RADIUS server is unavailable, to use password authentication:

Specify the following authentication order:[edit] user@host# set system authentication-order [radius password]
or
[edit] user@host# set system authentication-order radius

Configuring TACACS+ and RADIUS Authentication

To configure the SRC software to try to authenticate users through TACACS+and, if the TACACS+ server is unavailable, to use RADIUS authentication; and then, if the RADIUS server is unavailable, to use password authentication:

Specify the following authentication order:[edit] user@host# set system authentication-order [tacplus radius password]
or
[edit] user@host# set system authentication-order [tacplus radius]

To configure the SRC software to try to authenticate users through RADIUS and, if the RADIUS server is unavailable, to use TACACS+ authentication; and then, if the TACACS+ server is unavailable, to use password authentication:

Specify the following authentication order:[edit] user@host# set system authentication-order [radius tacplus password]
or
[edit] user@host# set system authentication-order [radius tacplus]
