CHAPTER 45
Authentication Method
45.1 Overview
Authentication method objects set how the ZyWALL authenticates wireless, HTTP/
HTTPS clients, peer IPSec routers (extended authentication), and L2TP VPN
clients. Configure authentication method objects to have the ZyWALL 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 ZyWALL are authenticated locally.
45.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
•Use the Configuration > Object > Auth. Method screens (Section 45.2 on
page 760) to create and manage authentication method objects.

45.1.2 Before You Begin
Configure AAA server objects (see Chapter 44 on page 749) before you configure
authentication method objects.
45.1.3 Example: Selecting a VPN Authentication Method
