Subject: [OPSAWG] Local Authentication at the network device

Hi All,

In small enterprise deployment, instead of Remote AAA server based authentication, local authentication at the network device can be performed.
The device can have a few user authorization parameters and properties which can be used for local authentication/authorization.
This optimization  is useful for performance and reducing the OPEX and CAPEX for the customers.

However, for this, there are many proprietary solutions.

We are seeking feedback or guidance from the WG on standard based solutions analogous to standard based AAA authentication schemes.

Thanks
Satya
