subscriber (Access Profile)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Enable local authentication for subscribers by configuring a password to match the subscriber. Local authentication can take the form of either user password authentication or Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol’ (CHAP) authentication. For user password authentication, the configured password is used to verify the subscriber’s login password. For CHAP authentication, the configured password acts as the challenge secret to verify the subscriber’s challenge password and challenge response credential.

Note:

Local authentication and authorization also requires the password option to be configured as an authentication-order method for the access profile.

You can also optionally configure several attributes, such as an address, address pool, logical system, or routing instance, to be authorized locally for the subscriber when authentication is successful.

Local authentication supports all subscriber types that are currently supported by subscriber management and services on MX Series routers.

Local authentication is useful when you do not want to use external authentication servers. The associated local authorization similarly is useful when you do not want to use external authorization servers. Another use case might be when you are migrating a network from E Series routers running JunosE software to MX Series routers running Junos OS. You may also want to configure local authentication and authorization as a backup for RADIUS authentication.

If you do not configure an address or address pool for local authorization, address assignment is based on network matching or the first address pool assigned to the routing instance.

Note:

Local authentication and authorization supports a chassis-wide maximum of 100 subscribers. If subscribers are configured in access profiles where authentication-order password is not configured, local authentication does not occur, but these subscriber count against the system limit of 100 subscribers for local authentication.
