Local authentication, HWTACACS authorization, and RADIUS accounting for SSH users

As shown in Figure 14, configure the switch to meet the following requirements:

• Perform local authentication for SSH servers.

• Use the HWTACACS server and RADIUS server for SSH user authorization and accounting, respectively.

• Exclude domain names from the usernames sent to the servers.

• Assign the default user role network-operator to SSH users after they pass authentication.

Configure an account with username hello for the SSH user. Configure the shared keys to expert for secure communication with the HWTACACS server and RADIUS server.

1. Configure the HWTACACS server. (Details not shown.)

2. Configure the RADIUS server. (Details not shown.)

3. Configure the switch:

   # Configure IP addresses for interfaces. (Details not shown.)

   # Create local RSA and DSA key pairs.

   <Switch> system-view
   [Switch] public-key local create rsa
   [Switch] public-key local create dsa
   

   # Enable the SSH service.

   [Switch] ssh server enable
   

   # Enable scheme authentication for user lines VTY 0 through VTY 63.

   [Switch] line vty 0 63
   [Switch-line-vty0-63] authentication-mode scheme
   [Switch-line-vty0-63] quit
   

   # Configure an HWTACACS scheme.

   [Switch-hwtacacs-hwtac] key authorization simple expert

   [Switch-hwtacacs-hwtac] quit
   

   # Configure a RADIUS scheme.

   # Create a device management user.

   [Switch] local-user hello class manage
   

   # Assign the SSH service to the local user.

   [Switch-luser-manage-hello] service-type ssh
   

   # Set the password to 123456TESTplat&! in plaintext form for the local user. In FIPS mode, you must set the password in interactive mode.

   [Switch-luser-manage-hello] password simple 123456TESTplat&!
   [Switch-luser-manage-hello] quit
   

   # Create an ISP domain named bbb and configure the login users to use local authentication, HWTACACS authorization, and RADIUS accounting.

   [Switch] domain bbb
   [Switch-isp-bbb] authentication login local
   [Switch-isp-bbb] authorization login hwtacacs-scheme hwtac
   [Switch-isp-bbb] accounting login radius-scheme rd
   [Switch-isp-bbb] quit
   

   # Enable the default user role feature to assign authenticated SSH users the default user role network-operator.

   [Switch] role default-role enable
   

# Initiate an SSH connection to the switch, and enter username hello@bbb and the correct password. The user logs in to the switch. (Details not shown.)

# Verify that the user can use the commands permitted by the network-operator user role. (Details not shown.)
