Using the ACS console server plug-in, you can configure two of the centralized authentication types available: the DSView 3 management software or the Radius authentication server.To enable centralized authentication in the DSView 3 software, first select one of the three DSView 3 software authentication types: DSView, DSView/Local or DSViewDownLocal. When the DSView 3 software centralized authentication service is configured, the DSView 3 server is used to authenticate users accessing the ACS console server.You may use the Appliance Authentication Servers - DSView page to configure up to four DSView 3 software authentication servers for the DSView, DSViewLocal or DSViewDownLocal authentication methods.NOTE: To configure IPv6 addresses, the ACS console server must have firmware version 3.2.0 or later.
Enter the IPv4 or IPv6 addresses of up to four DSView 3 software authentication servers on your network. Click Save.The ACS console server also supports the Radius authentication server. You may use the Appliance Authentication Servers - Radius page to configure up to four Radius authentication servers (up to two Radius authentication servers and up to two Radius accounting servers).
Enter the IPv4 or IPv6 addresses of up to four Radius authentication servers on your network (up to two authentication servers and up to two accounting servers).
In the Timeout field, enter the amount of time in seconds that the ACS console server will wait for the Radius server to respond before trying again.
In the Retries field, enter the number of retries to attempt if the Radius server does not respond before trying the secondary server.
Select the Enable Service-Type attribute checking checkbox to authorize the ACS console server to retrieve the level of the user (admin or regular) based on the Service-Type attribute from the Radius server.
