Usage Guidelines

In a re-authentication scenario, after the authentication event action authorize keep command is run, online users retain the original network access rights when the authentication server is Down. If re-authentication is performed on these users, the client frequently initiates re-authentication and may remain silent after multiple times. As a result, these users cannot access the network. To prevent this problem, you are advised to run the authentication event authen-server-down action close re-authen command to disable re-authentication when the authentication server is Down.

Example

# Disable re-authentication when the authentication server is Down.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] authentication-profile name authen1
[HUAWEI-authen-profile-authen1] authentication event authen-server-down action close re-authen
