Authenticating Fabric Manager Web Server
Fabric Manager Web Server does not communicate directly with any switches in the fabric. Fabric
Manager Web Server uses its own user name and password combination that is either stored locally or
stored remotely on an AAA server.
We recommend that you use a RADIUS or TACACS+ server to authenticate users in Fabric Manager
Web Server.
To configure Fabric Manager Web Server to use RADIUS authentication, perform this task:
Step 1 Launch Fabric Manager Web Server.
Step 2 Choose Admin tab > Web Users to update the authentication used by Fabric Manager Web Server.
Step 3 Click AAA.
Step 4 Set the authentication mode attribute to radius.
Step 5 Set the RADIUS server name, shared secret, authentication method, and ports used for up to three
RADIUS servers.
Step 6 Click Modify to save this information.
To configure Fabric Manager Web Server to use TACACS+ authentication, perform this task:
Step 1 Launch Fabric Manager Web Server.
Step 2 Choose Admin > Web Users to update the authentication used by Fabric Manager Web Server.
Step 3 Click AAA.
Step 4 Set the authenticationmode attribute to tacacs.
Step 5 Set the TACACS+ server name, shared secret, authentication method, and port used for up to three
TACACS+ servers.
Step 6 Click Modify to save this information.
