Setting CLI User Authentication Types
Setting CLI User Authentication Types in Event Broker Versions 10.25.18 and Later
Solace Event Broker CLI users can be authenticated through one of the following authentication types: internal, RADIUS, or LDAP. Internal authentication is always supported, and the Solace event broker always first attempts to authenticate a user using internal authentication. However, if a user does not exist in the internal database, the event broker checks if either RADIUS or LDAP authentication is configured (only one of the two can be configured for the event broker). If it is, the event broker then attempts to authenticate the user using RADIUS or LDAP.
To set the type of authentication mechanism to use for CLI users, enter the following commands:
solace(configure)# authentication
solace(configure/authentication)# basic
solace(configure/authentication/basic)# auth-type {radius <radius-profile> | ldap <ldap-profile> | internal}
Where:
auth-type is the authentication mechanism to use for CLI users:
radiusspecifies to authenticate CLI users through provisioned external RADIUS servers. This is the default authentication type.<radius-profile>is the name of a configured RADIUS profile (refer to Configuring RADIUS Profiles).ldapspecifies to authenticate CLI users through provisioned external LDAP servers.<ldap-profile>is the name of a configured LDAP profile (refer to Configuring LDAP Authentication).internalspecifies to authenticate CLI users through the internal database on the Solace event broker.
