Services that the user can use. Local authentication checks the service types of a local user. If none
of the service types is available, the user cannot pass authentication.
Service types include DVPN, FTP, portal, PPP, SSH, Telnet, terminal, and Web.
• User state.
Indicates whether or not a local user can request network services. There are two user states: active
and blocked. A user in active state can request network services, but a user in blocked state
cannot.
• Maximum number of users using the same local user account.
Indicates how many users can use the same local user account for local authentication.
• Validity time and expiration time.
Indicates the validity time and expiration time of a local user account. A user must use a valid local
user account to pass local authentication. When some users need to access the network
temporarily, you can create a guest account and specify a validity time and an expiration time for
the account to control the validity of the account.
• User group.
Each local user belongs to a local user group and bears all attributes of the group, such as the
password control attributes and authorization attributes. For more information about local user
group, see "
718HConfiguring user group attributes."
• Password control attributes.
Password control attributes help you control the security of local users' passwords. Password
control attributes include password aging time, minimum password length, and password
composition policy.
You can configure a password control attribute in system view, user group view, or local user view,
making the attribute effective for all local users, all local users in a group, or only the local user. A
password control attribute with a smaller effective range has a higher priority. For more
information about password management and global password configuration, see "Configuring
password control." For more information about password control commands, see Access Control
Command Reference.
• Binding attributes.
Binding attributes are used for controlling the scope of users. They are checked during local
authentication of a user. If the attributes of a user do not match the binding attributes configured for
the local user account, the user cannot pass authentication. Binding attributes include the ISDN
calling number and IP address.
• Authorization attributes.
Authorization attributes indicate the rights that a user has after passing local authentication.
Authorization attributes include the ACL, PPP callback number, idle cut function, user level, user
role, VLAN, and FTP/SFTP work directory. For more information about authorization attributes,
see "
719HConfiguring local user attributes."
Every configurable authorization attribute has its definite application environments and purposes.
When you configure authorization attributes for a local user, consider which attributes are needed
and which are not. For example, for PPP users, you do not need to configure the work directory
attribute.
You can configure an authorization attribute in user group view or local user view to make the
attribute effective for all local users in the group or for only the local user. The setting of an
authorization attribute in local user view takes precedence over that in user group view.
