Release Information
Statement introduced before Junos OS Release 7.4.
Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 9.0 for EX Series switches.
none option introduced in Junos OS Release 11.2.
Description
Set the order in which the Junos OS tries different authentication methods when verifying that a client can access the router or switch. For each login attempt, the software tries the authentication methods in order, from first to last.
Default
password
Options
authentication-methods
- none—Grants authentication without examining the client credentials. Can be used, for example, when the Diameter function Gx-Plus is employed for notification during subscriber provisioning.
- password—Verify the client using the information configured at the [edit access profile profile-name client client-name] hierarchy level.
- radius—Verify the client using RADIUS
authentication services.
Note: For subscriber access management, you must always specify the radius method. Subscriber access management does not support the password option (the default), and authentication fails when no method is specified.
Required Privilege Level
admin—To view this statement in the configuration.
admin-control—To add this statement to the configuration.
