Configure an HTTPS Authentication List
Use the HTTPS Authentication List to configure the default login list for secure HTTP
(HTTPS).
To configure an HTTPS authentication list:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the Switch on page 14.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch’s password in the Password field.
The default password is password.
The System Information page displays.
5. Select Security > Management Security > Authentication List > HTTPS Authentication
List.
The HTTPS Authentication List page displays.
6. Select the check box for the httpsList name.
7. From the menu in the 1 column, select the authentication method that must be used first in
the selected authentication login list.
If you select a method that does not time out as the first method, such as Local or None,
you cannot configure a second and third method. If you configure another method and
then select Local or None as the first method, no other method is tried. User
authentication occurs in the order that the methods are selected. Possible methods are
as follows:
• Local. The user’s locally stored ID and password are used for authentication. This is
the default method. Because the Local method does not time out, if you select this
option as the first method, no other method is tried, even if you specified more than
one method.
• RADIUS. The user’s ID and password are authenticated using the RADIUS server. If
you select Radius or Tacacs as the first method and an error occurs during the
authentication, the switch uses method 2 to authenticate the user.
• TACACS+. The user’s ID and password are authenticated using the TACACS+
server. If you select Radius or Tacacs as the first method and an error occurs during
the authentication, the switch attempts user authentication method 2.
• None. The authentication method is unspecified. If you select this option as the first
method, no other method is tried, even if you specified more than one method.
