The AAA menu (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) allows you to control the authentication, authorization, and accounting settings of the users accessing SSB. The following will be discussed in the next sections:
For details on how to authenticate locally on SSB, see Managing SSB users locally.
For details on how to authenticate users using an external LDAP (for example Microsoft Active Directory) database, see Managing SSB users from an LDAP database.
For details on how to authenticate users using an external RADIUS server, see Authenticating users to a RADIUS server.
For details on how to control the privileges of users and usergroups, see Managing user rights and usergroups.
For details on how to display the history of changes of SSB configuration, see Listing and searching configuration changes.
By default, SSB users are managed locally on SSB. In order to add local users in SSB, all steps of the following procedure need to be completed:
Create users.
For detailed instructions on how to create local users, see Creating local users in SSB.
Assign users to groups.
For details about how to add a usergroup, see Managing local usergroups.
Assign privileges to groups.
For information on how to control the privileges of usergroups, see Managing user rights and usergroups.
The following describes how to create a local user in SSB.

NOTE:
The admin user is available by default and has all possible privileges. It is not possible to delete this user. Local users cannot be managed when LDAP authentication is used (see Managing SSB users from an LDAP database). When LDAP authentication is enabled, the accounts of local users are disabled, they are not displayed on the AAA > Local Users page, but they are not deleted, either. When using RADIUS authentication together with local users, the users are authenticated to the RADIUS server, only their group memberships must be managed locally on SSB. For details, see Authenticating users to a RADIUS server. |
