Configuring a Brocade user account
When you use network information service (NIS) for authentication, the only way to enable
authentication with the password file is to force the Brocade switch to authenticate using password
authentication protocol (PAP); this requires the setting the pap option with the radius-server host
command.
1. Open the $PREFIX/etc/raddb/users file in a text editor.
2. Add the user name and associated the permissions.
The user must log in using the permissions specified with Brocade-Auth-Role.
The following example configures an account called "jsmith" with admin permissions and a
password "jspassword".
jsmith Auth-Type := Local,
User-Password == "jspassword",
Brocade-Auth-Role = "admin"
NOTE
You must use double quotation marks around the password and role.
