When you first create the method, you are prompted to specify the type. For 
Nortel Secure Network Access Switch Software Release 1.0, valid options are:

•

RADIUS

•

LDAP

•

local

The selected method type determines the remainder of the parameters you are 
prompted to provide when you create the method, as well as the submenu options 
that are provided on the Authentication menu.

The 

 menu includes the following options:

/cfg/domain 1/aaa/auth <auth ID>

followed by:

type 
radius|ldap|local

Sets the authentication mechanism. The type selected 
determines which submenu option will display.

name <name>

Names or renames the method. After you have defined 
a name for the method, you can use either the method 
name or the 

auth ID

 to access the Authentication 

menu.

 is a string that must be unique in the domain. 

The maximum allowable length of the string is 255 
characters, but Nortel recommends a maximum of 
32 characters.

In future releases of the Nortel SNAS 4050 software, 
you will be able to reference this string in a client filter, 
so that authentication to the server in question 
becomes a condition for access rights for a group.

display

Specifies a name for the method, to display in the Login 
Service list box on the portal login page, together with 
the names of other authentication services available.
