HP 5920

port-number: Specifies the service port number of the primary HWTACACS authentication server, a TCP
port number in the range of 1 to 65535. The default setting is 49.
key { cipher | simple } string: Sets the shared key for secure communication with the primary
HWTACACS authentication server.
• cipher string: Sets a ciphertext shared key. The string argument is case sensitive. In non-FIPS mode,
the key is a string of 1 to 373 characters. In FIPS mode, the key is a string of 15 to 373 characters.
• simple string: Sets a plaintext shared key. The string argument is case sensitive. In non-FIPS mode,
the key is a string of 1 to 255 characters. In FIPS mode, the key is a string of 15 to 255 characters
and must contain numbers, uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and special characters.
vpn-instance vpn-instance-name: Specifies the MPLS L3VPN to which the primary HWTACACS
authentication server belongs, where vpn-instance-name is a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31 characters.
If the server is on the public network, do not specify this option.
Usage guidelines
Make sure that the port number and shared key settings of the primary HWTACACS authentication
server are the same as those configured on the server.
Two authentication servers specified for a scheme, primary or secondary, cannot have identical IP
address, port number, and VPN settings.
If the specified server resides on an MPLS L3VPN, specify the VPN by using the vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name option. The VPN specified by this command takes precedence over the VPN
specified for the HWTACACS scheme.
You can remove an authentication server only when it is not used for user authentication. Removing an
authentication server affects only authentication processes that occur after the remove operation.
For security purpose, all shared keys, including shared keys configured in plain text, are saved in cipher
text.
Examples
# Specify the primary authentication server with IP address 10.163.155.13, TCP port number 49, and
plaintext shared key abc for HWTACACS scheme hwt1.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] hwtacacs scheme hwt1
