Defining Authentication Profiles
Authentication profiles allow network administrators to assign authentication methods for user
authentication. User authentication can be performed locally or on an external server. User
authentication occurs in the order the methods are selected. If the first authentication method is not
available, the next selected method is used. For example, if the selected authentication methods are
RADIUS and Local, and the RADIUS server is not available, then the user is authenticated locally.
