Fabric OS user accounts
RADIUS, LDAP, and TACACS+ servers allow you to set up user accounts by their true network-wide
identity rather than by the account names created on a Fabric OS switch. With each account name,
assign the appropriate switch access permissions. For LDAP servers, you can use the
ldapCfg
-–maprole ldap_role name switch_role command to map LDAP server permissions.
