• The user authenticates on the device through the user interface
• The device checks the credentials provided by the user against the centralized
security server that stores user account database.
• The centralized security server answers the device and confirms whether the user
has the right to access the device or not (this is the authorization step).
Upon successful authentication, the user is granted authorization for
access.
If an error occurs during the authentication process, a message appears as
shown on the following figure.
• Then, the device gives access to the user and loads the user profile according to
his/her role
8.1.4.2 Local Authentication
When the centralized authentication is not available or when the “LDAP Server
Enabled” option is not selected in the Security > Security settings page, Reason
H49 uses a local account service for local authentication.
It means that information about user(s) is stored on the system.
Note:
Local user accounts are applied only if no LDAP account management has been defined or if the LDAP server is not accessible. If
local authentication is used, then its associated authorization will also be local.
Local account management (creation, deletion, edition, etc.) is accessible from the
Security > User Accounts page.
Default User
By default, Reason H49 is delivered with a default administrator account.
When connecting to Reason H49 for the very first time via the web server, the user
shall use the following default authentication information:
• Login: user
• Password: user
Then, once connected to the Reason H49 switch, he/she will be invited to enter
his/her password in order access the services provided by the device.
Note:
This default account is modifiable by the customer.
