CHAPTER 49
Authentication Method
49.1 Overview
Authentication method objects set how the ISG50 authenticates wireless, HTTP/HTTPS clients, and
peer IPSec routers (extended authentication) clients. Configure authentication method objects to
have the ISG50 use the local user database, and/or the authentication servers and authentication
server groups specified by AAA server objects. By default, user accounts created and stored on the
ISG50 are authenticated locally.
49.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
•Use the Configuration > Object > Auth. Method screens (Section 49.2 on page 640) to create
and manage authentication method objects.

See Section 7.5.3 on page 118 for an example of how to set up user authentication using a radius
server.
49.1.2 Before You Begin
Configure AAA server objects (see Chapter 48 on page 631) before you configure authentication
method objects.
