Authentication Settings

You can change the user authentication level priority among TACACS+, LDAP, Local, and HOST servers.

About this task

XCO supports a maximum of five authentication settings. Host is the default authentication setting.

If a configured authentication level priority server is unreachable, failover to the next server occurs. If all servers decline to authenticate the user, the other configured authentication methods are attempted in the authentication order, and eventually the user is denied.

Procedure

  1. In the Navigation menu, select Users > Settings.
  2. In the Authentication Settings page, drag and drop the required server settings to reorder the authentication level priority.
