Configure an HTTPS Authentication List

Use the HTTPS Authentication List to configure the default login list for secure HTTP
(HTTPS).

To configure an HTTPS authentication list:

1.

Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.

You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.

2.

Launch a web browser.

3.

In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.

If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see

Access the Switch on page

14

.

The login window opens.

4.

Enter the switch’s password in the

Password

field.

The default password is

password

.

The System Information page displays.

5.

Select

Security > Management Security > Authentication List > HTTPS Authentication

List

.

The HTTPS Authentication List page displays.

6.

Select the check box for the httpsList name.

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

or

None

,

you cannot configure a second and third method. If you configure another method and
then select

Local

or

None

as the first method, no other method is tried. User

authentication occurs in the order that the methods are selected. Possible methods are
as follows:

Local

. The user’s locally stored ID and password are used for authentication. This is

the default method. 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.

RADIUS

. The user’s ID and password are authenticated using the RADIUS server. If

you select

Radius

or

Tacacs

as the first method and an error occurs during the

authentication, the switch uses method 2 to authenticate the user.

TACACS+

. The user’s ID and password are authenticated using the TACACS+

server. If you select

Radius

or

Tacacs

as the first method and an error occurs during

the authentication, the switch attempts user authentication method 2.

None

. The authentication method is unspecified. If you select this option as the first

method, no other method is tried, even if you specified more than one method.
