RADIUS Authentication and Accounting

Commands Authorization

Enabling Authorization

To configure authorization for controlling access to the CLI commands, enter

this command at the CLI.

Syntax: [no] aaa authorization <commands> <radius | none>

Configures authorization for controlling access to CLI

commands. When enabled, the switch checks the list of commands

supplied by the RADIUS server during user authentication to

determine if a command entered by the user can be executed.

radius: The NAS requests authorization information from the

RADIUS server. Authorization rights are assigned by user or

group.

none

: The NAS does not request authorization information.

For example, to enable the RADIUS protocol as the authorization method:

ProCurve(config)# aaa authorization commands radius

When the NAS sends the RADIUS server a valid username and password, the

RADIUS server sends an Access-Accept packet that contains two attributes

—the command list and the command exception flag. When an authenticated

user enters a command on the switch, the switch examines the list of com-

mands delivered in the RADIUS Access-Accept packet as well as the command

exception flag, which indicates whether the user has permission to execute

the commands in the list. See Configuring the RADIUS Server on page 5-28.

After the Access-Accept packet is deliver, the command list resides on the

switch. Any changes to the user’s command list on the RADIUS server are not

seen until the user is authenticated again.
