Configure the HTTP authentication list
You can configure the HTTP authentication list, which specifies the authentication
methods to validate switch or port access through HTTP, for example, through a web
browser session. Only a single HTTP authentication list exists, which, by default, uses
local authentication.
To configure the HTTP authentication list:
1. Launch a web browser.
2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
The login page displays.
3. Click the Main UI Login button.
The main UI login page displays in a new tab.
4. Enter admin as the user name, enter your local device password, and click the Login
button.
The first time that you log in, no password is required. However, you then must
specify a local device password to use each subsequent time that you log in.
The System Information page displays.
5. Select Security > Management Security > Authentication List > HTTP
Authentication List.
The HTTP Authentication List page displays.
6. Select the check box for the HTTP list.
7. From the menu in the 1 column, select the authentication method that must be used
first in the selected authentication login list.
If you select a method that does not time out as the first method, such as Local, no
other method is tried, even if you specified more than one method. User
authentication occurs in the order that you select the methods:
• Local: The user’s locally stored name and password are used for authentication.
Because the Local method does not time out, if you select this option as the first
method, no other method is tried, even if you specified more than one method.
This is the default selection for method 1.
• None: The user is allowed access without authentication.
• Radius: The user's name and password are authenticated using the RADIUS server
instead of the local server.
• Tacacs: The user's name and password are authenticated using the TACACS
server instead of the local server.
