Security Commands 944

Configuring the user-name parameter as a valid login on the RADIUS server

will induce state on the server as the server will wait for further packets from

the switch. The switch will not send any further RADIUS packets to remove

the state from the RADIUS server. Therefore, Dell EMC strongly

recommends that the user name not be configured on the RADIUS server.

The user-name parameter accepts any printable character. Enclose the

parameter in double quotes to configure embedded blanks in the user name.

Successive invocations of the automate-tester command overwrite the

previous values.
