Rearrange the position of authentication methods

 

Authentication methods are reordered by changing the method type in the Method drop-down for each authentication method to match the appropriate order.

For example, the following configuration has Local users as the first method, and RADIUS as the second.

To reorder these so that RADIUS is first and Local users is second:

  1. Log into Digi Remote Manager, or log into the local Web UI as a user with full Admin access rights.
  2. Access the device configuration:

    1. Locate your device as described in Use Digi Remote Manager to view and manage your device.
    2. Click the Device ID.
    3. Click Settings.
    4. Click to expand Config.

    1. On the menu, click System. Under Configuration, click Device Configuration.

      The Configuration window is displayed.

  3. Click to expand the first Method.
  4. In the Method drop-down, select RADIUS.

  5. Click to expand the second Method.
  6. In the Method drop-down, select Local users.

  7. Click Apply to save the configuration and apply the change.
  1. Select the device in Remote Manager and click Actions > Open Console, or log into the IX14 local command line as a user with full Admin access rights.

    Depending on your device configuration, you may be presented with an Access selection menu. Type admin to access the Admin CLI.

  2. At the command line, type config to enter configuration mode:
    > config
(config)>
  3. Use the show command to display current configuration:
    (config)> show auth method
0 local
1 radius
(config)>
  4. Use the move command to rearrange the methods:
    (config)> move auth method 1 0
(config)>
  5. Use the show command again to verify the change:
    (config)> show auth method
0 radius
1 local
(config)>
  6. Save the configuration and apply the change:
    (config)> save
Configuration saved.
>
  7. Type exit to exit the Admin CLI.

    Depending on your device configuration, you may be presented with an Access selection menu. Type quit to disconnect from the device.
