Authorized User Authentication Processing Logic

Authentication processing is performed in the order of authentication methods in the authorized user object.

First, if the authorized user object itself is disabled, authentication fails.

Second, if the simple-text password method exists and is enabled, then the password supplied is encrypted and compared against the one stored in the method subitem. If they are equal, then authentication succeeds.

Third, if the SecurID method exists, is enabled, and the password presented appears to be a possible SecurID passcode (that is, ends in 6 decimal digits), then it is submitted to the ACE/Server along with the securidname for the method. If the ACE/Server indicates success, then authentication succeeds.

If none of the above yields success, then authentication fails.
