Authentication and Authorization (AA) Overview

Users of CC-SG can be locally authenticated and authorized on the CC-SG or remotely authenticated using the following supported directory servers:

• Microsoft Active Directory (AD)
• Netscape's Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
• TACACS+
• RADIUS

Any number of remote servers can be used for external authentication. For example, you could configure three AD servers, two iPlanet (LDAP) servers, and three RADIUS servers.

Only AD can be used for remote authorization of users.

LDAP implementations use LDAP v3.

IPv6 is supported for all directory servers.
