Fabric Manager Web Services Authentication
Fabric Manager Web Services does not communicate directly with any switches in the fabric. Fabric
Manager Web Services uses its own username 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 Services.
To configure Fabric Manager Web Services to use RADIUS authentication, follow these steps:
Step 1 Launch Fabric Manager Web Services. See the “Launching and Using Fabric Manager Web Services”
section on page 5-7.
Step 2 Choose Admin > Web Users to update the authentication used by Fabric Manager Web Services.
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.
