Configuring Remote Template Accounts for User Authentication

By default, the Junos OS uses remote template accounts for user authentication when:

  • The authenticated user does not exist locally on the router or switch.
  • The authenticated user’s record in the authentication server specifies local user, or the specified local user does not exist locally on the router or switch.

To configure the remote template account, include the user remote statement at the [edit system login] hierarchy level and specify the privileges you want to grant to remote users:

[edit system login]
user remote {full-name "All remote users";uid uid-value;class class-name;}

To configure different access privileges for users who share the remote template account, include the allow-commands and deny-commands statements in the authentication server configuration file.
