Guidelines and Recommendations for Remote Authentication Providers
If you configure a system for one of the supported remote authentication services, you must create a provider for that service to ensure that Cisco UCS Central can communicate with it. In addition, be aware of the following guidelines that impact user authorization:
User Accounts in Remote Authentication Services
User accounts can exist locally in Cisco UCS Central or in the remote authentication server. You can view the temporary sessions for users who log in through remote authentication services through Cisco UCS Central GUI or Cisco UCS Central CLI.
User Roles in Remote Authentication Services
-
Accounts include the roles those users require for working in Cisco UCS Central.
-
Names of those roles match the names used in Cisco UCS Central.
Local and Remote User Authentication Support
Cisco UCS Central uses LDAP, RADIUS and TACACS+ for remote authentication.
