Logging In to the CNS Security Service

VRC user administration is managed through the Cisco Network Service (CNS) security service.

The CNS security service provides an authentication and authorization framework based upon the Role Based Access Control (RBAC) model. This framework provides features as authentication, authorization, and security administration.

The CNS security service processes the policy rules represented in an LDAP v3 directory to determine the entitlements and privileges granted to various roles.
