8.5.1 Preparing the Embedded Web Authentication DB

(1) Creating an Embedded Web Authentication DB

You can use the set web-authentication user operation command to register information about a Web authentication user (such as a user ID, password, and VLAN ID) in the internal Web authentication DB. You can also use this command to change a password or delete an existing user.

Additions or changes to the database do not take effect until you execute the commit web-authentication operation command.

Note that additions or changes committed to the internal Web authentication DB by the operation command do not apply to authentication sessions that are already in progress. They will apply the next time the user logs in.

(2) Backing Up the Embedded Web authentication DB

You can use the store web-authentication operation command to back up the internal Web authentication DB you created for use in local authentication.

(3) Restoring the Embedded Web authentication DB

You can use the load web-authentication operation command to restore the internal Web authentication DB from a backup file you created. Keep in mind that any recent additions or changes you made using the set web-authentication user operation command or similar will be lost and replaced with the contents of the backup file.
