R211x-HP Flexfabric 11900 Security Command Reference

70
{ In non-FIPS mode, the key is a string of 1 to 373 characters.
{ In FIPS mode, the key is a string of 15 to 373 characters.
• simple string: Sets a plaintext shared key. The string argument is case sensitive.
{ In non-FIPS mode, the key is a string of 1 to 255 characters.
{ In FIPS mode, the key is a string of 15 to 255 characters and must contain digits, uppercase
letters, lowercase letters, and special characters.
single-connection: The device and the primary HWTACACS accounting server use the same TCP
connection to exchange accounting packets for all users. If you do not specify this keyword, the device
establishes a new TCP connection each time it exchanges accounting packets with the primary
accounting server for a user. If the HWTACACS server supports the single-connection method, HP
recommends that you specify this keyword to reduce TCP connections for improving system performance.
vpn-instance vpn-instance-name: Specifies the MPLS L3VPN to which the primary HWTACACS
accounting server belongs, where vpn-instance-name is a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31 characters. If
the server is on the public network, do not specify this option.
Usage guidelines
Make sure that the port number and shared key settings of the primary HWTACACS accounting server
are the same as those configured on the server.
Two accounting servers specified for a scheme, primary or secondary, cannot have identical IP address,
port number, and VPN settings.
If the specified server resides on an MPLS L3VPN, specify the VPN by using the vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name option. The VPN specified by this command takes precedence over the VPN specified
for the HWTACACS scheme.
You can remove an accounting server only when it is not used for user accounting. Removing an
accounting server affects only accounting processes that occur after the remove operation.
For security purposes, all shared keys, including shared keys configured in plain text, are saved in
ciphertext.
Examples
# Specify the primary accounting server with IP address 10.163.155.12, TCP port number 49, and
plaintext shared key 123456TESTacct&! for HWTACACS scheme test1.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] hwtacacs scheme test1
[Sysname-hwtacacs-test1] primary accounting 10.163.155.12 49 key simple 123456TESTacct&!
