Specifying Configuration Mode Commands

You can specify extended regular expressions with the allow-configuration and deny-configuration attributes to define user access privileges to parts of the configuration hierarchy or individual configuration mode commands. Doing so overrides any login class permission flags set for a user. You can also use wildcards to restrict access. When you define access privileges to parts of the configuration hierarchy or individual configuration mode commands, do the following:

Specify the full paths in the extended regular expressions with the allow-configuration and deny-configuration attributes.

Enclose parentheses around an extended regular expression that connects two or more expressions with the pipe | symbol. For example:



[edit system login class class-name]
user@host# set deny-configuration "(system
login class) | (system services)"

Note: Each expression separated by a pipe | symbol must be a complete standalone expression, and must be enclosed with parentheses ( ). Do not use spaces between regular expressions separated by parentheses and connected with the pipe | symbol. You cannot define access to keywords such as set, edit, or activate.

For more information about how to use wildcards, see Table 9.

To explicitly allow an individual configuration mode command that would otherwise be denied, include the allow-configuration statement at the [edit system login class class-name] hierarchy level:



[edit system login class class-name]
allow-configuration “regular-expression”;

To explicitly deny an individual configuration mode command that would otherwise be allowed, include the deny-configuration statement at the [edit system login class class-name] hierarchy level:



[edit system login class class-name]
deny-configuration “regular-expression”;

If the regular expression contains any spaces, operators, or wildcard characters, enclose it in quotation marks. Regular expressions are not case-sensitive.

You can include one deny-configuration and one allow-configuration statement in each login class.

Use extended regular expressions to specify which configuration mode commands are denied or allowed. You specify these regular expressions in the allow-configuration and deny-configuration statements at the [edit system login class] hierarchy level, or by specifying attributes, that are specific to JUNOS, in your TACACS+ or RADIUS authentication server’s configuration. You must specify that these regular expressions are sent as the value of Juniper Networks vendor-specific attributes. If regular expressions are received during TACACS+ or RADIUS authentication, they merge with any regular expressions configured on the local router. For information about TACACS+ or RADIUS authentication, see the JUNOS System Basics Configuration Guide.

Command regular expressions implement the extended (modern) regular expressions, as defined in POSIX 1003.2. Table 9 lists common regular expression operators.

Table 9: Configuration Mode Commands—Common Regular Expression Operators

Operator	Match...
\|	One of two or more terms separated by the pipe. Each term must be a complete standalone expression enclosed in parentheses ( ), with no spaces between the pipe and the adjacent parentheses. For example, (show system alarms)\|(show system software).
^	At the beginning of an expression, used to denote where the command begins, and where there might be some ambiguity.
$	Character at the end of a command. Used to denote a command that must be matched exactly up to that point. For example, allow-command "show interfaces$" means that the user can issue the show interfaces command but cannot issue the show interfaces detail or show interfaces extensive command.
[ ]	Range of letters or digits. To separate the start and end of a range, use a hyphen ( - ).
( )	A group of commands indicating a complete, standalone expression to be evaluated; the result is then evaluated as part of the overall expression. Parantheses must always be used in conjunction with pipe operators as explained previously.
*	Zero or more terms.
+	One or more terms.
.	Any character except for a space " ".
