User Authentication Methods
The access to the PL-1000RO Web application and CLI is protected. Therefore,
before performing any operation on the device, the user needs to log in to the
node by entering a user name and password, which is then authenticated by the
node.
There are two methods for user authentication:
•
Local authentication
•
Remote authentication
