aaa authorization map order

Prev Next

Use this command to set the order for handling remote to local user mappings.

You can specify one of three mapping behaviors when authenticating users with a remote authentication server:

  • Remote First: (Default) The appliance will attempt to map the local-user mapping attribute to a local account. If a local account exists, the system will map the user to that account. If no local user exists, the system will map the user to the default user specified by the aaa authorization map default-user command.

  • Remote Only: The appliance will attempt to map the local-user mapping to a local account. If a local account exists, the system will map the user to that account. If no account exists, the system will deny access to the user.

  • Local Only: The system will map all users to the default user specified by the aaa authorization map default-user command.

Note

This mapping is only used when the user is authenticated using a remote authentication server (RADIUS, TACACS+, or LDAP). This mapping is ignored for users authenticating locally.
