Managing the Local User Database
The User Database screen is used to create users and groups for the local RADIUS server. This database is used when Local
is selected as the Data Source from the Radius Server screen. The information in the database is ignored if an LDAP server
is used for user authentication. Select [User Authentication] --> User Database to maintain the user entries.
Each user that is created is assigned their own password and is associated with one or more groups. Each group can be
configured for its own access policy on the Access Policy configuration screen under the RADIUS Server menu.
Adding Groups
This Groups table displays a list of all groups in the local RADIUS server's database. The groups are listed in the order that
they are added. Although groups can be added and deleted, there is no capability currently to edit the name of a group.
1. To add a new group, click the Add button and enter the name of the group in the new blank field in the table.
2. Don’t forget to click Apply to save the changes.
Deleting Groups
To remove a group, select the group from the table and click the Del (Delete) key. A warning message will appear when you
apply the change if there are users still assigned to the group. You can then remove the group from each user or add the
group back to the group list.
Adding Users
The Users table displays the entire list of users. Up to 100 users can be entered here. The users are listed in the order that
they are added. Although users can be added and deleted, there is no capability currently to edit the name of a group.
1. To add a new user, click the Add button at the bottom of the Users area.
2. In the new line, type a User ID (username).
