AAA stands for "Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting". As the name implies, it covers the following three topics:
- Determining who someone/something is
- Defining what someone/something can do
- Logging what someone/something does
In network operating systems, authentication is usually done through an account consisting of a username and a password and/or private key.
The AAA application provides the following components:
Users and Groups#
Users are identified by their username and a password or private key (authentication). A user is configured on a set of nodes, and is linked to a group. The group defines what the user can or cannot do (authorization).
Info
Node users are a core feature of EDA, and are not discussed in this article.
