Chapter 4 Authentication in Fabric Manager
Performance Manager Authentication
Performance Manager Authentication
Performance Manager uses the user name and password information stored in the Fabric Manager Server
database. If this information changes on the switches in your fabric while Performance Manager is
running, you need to update the Fabric Manager Server database and restart Performance Manager.
Updating the Fabric Manager Server database requires removing the fabric from Fabric Manager Server
and rediscovering the fabric.
To update the user name and password information used by Performance Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Click Server > Admin in Fabric Manager.
You see the Control Panel dialog box with the Fabrics tab open (see Figure 4-2).
Figure 4-2 Fabrics Tab in Control Panel Dialog Box
Step 2 Click the fabrics that have updated user name and password information.
Step 3 From the Admin listbox, select Unmanage and then click Apply.
Step 4 Enter the appropriate user name and password and then click Apply.
Step 5 From the Admin listbox, select Manage and then click Apply.
Step 6 To rediscover the fabric, click Open tab and check the check box(es) next to the fabric(s) you want to
open in the Select column.
Step 7 Click Open to rediscover the fabric. Fabric Manager Server updates its user name and password
information.
Step 8 Repeat Step 3 through Step 7 for any fabric that you need to rediscover.
Step 9 Choose Performance > Collector > Restart to restart Performance Manager and use the new user name
and password.
Fabric Manager Web Server Authentication
Fabric Manager Web Server does not communicate directly with any switches in the fabric. Fabric
Manager Web Server uses its own user name and password combination that is either stored locally or
stored remotely on an AAA server.
We recommend that you use a RADIUS or TACACS+ server to authenticate users in Fabric Manager
Web Server.
To configure Fabric Manager Web Server to use RADIUS authentication, follow these steps:
