MergePoint 5224/5240 SP Manager Authentication Options

The administrator can configure many common authentication methods for logins to the SP

manager or to target devices. By default, all logins to the SP manager and target devices use

Local authentication.

See the authentication

-related considerations in the following bulleted list. These authentication

methods use both local authentication and authentication servers in the order shown: Local/

AuthType, AuthType/Local and then AuthType/DownLocal.

• The AuthType/Local and AuthType/DownLocal authorization methods are referred to as

authentication methods with local fallback options.

• Administrators can specify separate authentication types for SP manager logins and for

target devices.

• Local and OTP authentication methods and the authentication methods that have local fallback

options require user accounts configured on the SP manager.

If configuring any authentication method other than Local, the administrator user must make sure

the SP manager has network access to an authentication server for every authentication

method specified.

NOTE: This section discusses only the types of authentication used for controlling who can access the SP

manager and target devices. Other authentication methods that are used by SNMP, PPTP, IPSec or PPP are

described in the related sections.

NOTE: For Native IP and DirectCommand to work, the authentication method configured for the SP manager

must be identical to the authentication method configured for the target device. For example, assigning LDAP to

the SP manager and LDAP/Local to the target device causes attempts to achieve Native IP or Device Command

access to the target device to fail.

The following table lists the supported authentication methods and indicates which methods are

available for the SP manager and which are available for target devices. When a table cell is blank,

the authentication method is not supported.

Table 4.1: Supported Authentication Types

authentication on the SP manager.

allowed if Kerberos server is down or

Kerberos authentication fails.
