FIGURE 10 Windows 2000 VSA configuration
Linux FreeRADIUS server
For the configuration on a Linux FreeRADIUS server, define the values outlined in Table 24 in a
vendor dictionary file called dictionary.brocade.
After you have completed the dictionary file, define the permissions for the user in a configuration
file. For example, to grant the user admin permissions, you would add the following statement to
the configuration file:
swladmin Auth-Type := Local, User-Password == "myPassword"
Brocade-Auth-Role = "admin",
Brocade-AVPairs1 = "HomeLF=70",
Brocade-AVPairs2 =
"LFRoleList=admin:2,4-8,70,80,128;ChassisRole=admin",
Brocade-Passwd-ExpiryDate = "11/10/2011",
Brocade-Passwd-WarnPeriod = "30"
RADIUS configuration with Admin Domains or Virtual Fabrics
When configuring users with Admin Domains or Virtual Fabrics, you must also include the Admin
Domain or Virtual Fabric member list. This section describes the way that you configure attribute
types for this configuration.
