Defining Authentication Profiles
The
Authentication Profiles
page contains fields for selecting the user authentication method on
the device. User authentication occurs:
•Locally
Via an external server
User authentication can also be set to
None
.
User authentication occurs in the order the methods are selected. For example, if both the
Local
and
RADIUS
options are selected, the user is authenticated first locally. If the local user database is
empty, the user is then authenticated via the RADIUS server. If the authentication fails using the
first method, the authentication process ends.
If an error occurs during the authentication, the next selected method is used. To open the
