Securing devices

The following security is applied when managing devices:

  • For Snapshot span actions, TrueSight Network Automation always uses the device's assigned device security profile (DSP).
  • For Telnet/SSH client sessions, the user supplies login credentials as prompted by the device.
  • For all other span actions (for example, Deploy to Active, Deploy OS Image), a system parameter under Admin > System Parameters defines which login credentials to use. To force the user to supply TACACS+/RADIUS credentials, select the Enter at Job Creation option.

The following figure shows Device Security Profile being selected for security:

Editing user authentication parameters

To configure user authentication system parameters, go to Admin > System Admin > System Parameters. For details, see Security section (local mode user authentication) and Security section (external mode user authentication).
