Once authenticated against LDAP the user is mapped to the NAS device where there is a username called tier3 (or whatever you called it. Could be superduck). That username is matched against a class which defines a specific set of available commands. The default classes on a juniper router and switch (out of the box) are tier1 (read-only), tier2 (show and some configure commands) and tier3 (or superuser). The audits on both the NAS and in the radius radacct log show the User-Name value as the LDAP uid. When a user types a command such as 'edit' the NAS returns a Juniper-Interactive-Command value = 'edit'. In this way we have a full record of every command each user types on any Juniper device in our accounting logs. Doing this provides very granular control over what users have what permisisons and provides a mechanism for tracking, troubleshooting and accountability.

See "man rlm_passwd" It can be used to create arbitrary groups,
including groups of users.

What does that do?

Put the users into an LDAP group, and use LDAP-Group checking:

DEFAULT LDAP-Group == "tier2"

Juniper-Deny-Commands "(show system alarms)|(show system software)"
