authentication-order
Syntax authentication-order [method-1] [method-2] [method-3] [exit-on-reject]
no authentication-order
Context config>system>security>password
Description This command configures the sequence in which password authentication, authorization, and
accounting is attempted among RADIUS, TACACS+, and local passwords.
The order should be from the most preferred authentication method to the least preferred.
The presence of all methods in the command line does not guarantee that they are all
operational. Specifying options that are not available delays user authentication.
If all (operational) methods are attempted and no authentication for a particular login has
been granted, then an entry in the security log registers the failed attempt. Both the attempted
login identification and originating IP address are logged with a timestamp.
The no form of the command reverts to the default authentication sequence.
