ip http authentication
Use the ip http authentication command in Global Configuration mode to
specify authentication methods for http server users. To return to the default,
use the no form of this command.
Syntax
ip http authentication {method1 [method2...]}
no ip http authentication
• method1 [ method2... ] — Specify at least one from the following table:
Default Configuration
The local user database is checked. This action has the same effect as the
command ip http authentication local.
Command Mode
Global Configuration mode
User Guidelines
The additional methods of authentication are used only if the previous
method returns an error, not if it fails. To ensure that the authentication
succeeds even if all methods return an error, specify none as the final method
in the command line. For example, if none is specified as an authentication
method after radius, no authentication is used if the RADIUS server is down.
Example
The following example configures the http authentication.
console(config)# ip http authentication radius local
