Named Template Accounts

Template accounts for which you define a name are defined on a C-series Controller and are referenced by the TACACS+ and RADIUS authentication servers through usernames. All users who share a local user template account have the same access privileges.

When a user who accesses the C-series Controller through a named template account logs in:

1. The user provides a login name and password at the system login prompts.
2. The system authenticates the user as configured based on the login name and password.

   See Configuring More Than One Authentication Method (SRC CLI).

3. If the authentication succeeds, the system loads the user profile as configured by the system login user login-name statement. If a profile is not configured through the system login user login-name statement, the system uses the profile configured through the system login user remote statement.

   If authentication fails, or a profile could not be loaded, the login attempt fails.

Note: The SRC software does not support return of RADIUS or TACACS+ authorization attributes during authentication.
