Usage Guidelines
You can configure client certificate authentication of WebUI or SSH management users (by default, only
username/password is used). To configure certificate authentication for the WebUI or SSH, use the web-server
mgmt-auth certificate or ssh mgmt-auth public-key commands, respectively.
Use webui-cacert <certificate name> command if you want an external authentication server to derive the
management user role. This is helpful if there are a large number of users who need to be authenticated.
Or, use the mgmt-user webui-cacert <certificate_name> serial <number> <username> <role> if you want the
authentication process to use previously configured certificate name and serial number to derive the user role.
Example
See the web-server and ssh command descriptions for examples of certificate and public key authentication. The
following command configures a management user and role:
(host) (config) #mgmt-user zach_jennings root
Password: *****
Re-Type password: *****
