Configuring Global Authentication Settings
The Global - Authentication subcategory specifies the type and order of the authentication methods
that will be used. If RADIUS authentication will be used, the RADIUS server information is also
specified in this panel.
To change authentication settings:
1. Click the Settings tab in the CCM AMP.
2. Select the Global - Authentication subcategory.
3. To disable all authentication methods, enable the No Authentication checkbox. You cannot
disable all authentication if SSH is enabled; in this case, you should disable SSH in the Global -
Sessions subcategory, then disable all authentication in the Global - Authentications subcategory.
4. To specify one or more authentication methods, enable one or more checkboxes next to
the method.
5. When you specify more than one authentication method, you may change their order in the list.
Select a method and then click one of the Reorder Authentication Methods buttons. Click the up
button to shift the selected method up; click the down button to shift the selected method down.

methods. If RADIUS is enabled, the following information must be set for the primary server;
information for the secondary server is optional.
