User Lookup

User authentication verification is performed when an access request is made to the system. The router 
checks the user database to verify the user account by username and password, supplied by the user when 
making the access request. You can specify where user authentication/identification  is performed from the 
User Lookup Configuration page. 

You can specify both a primary and secondary database to use to identify users if you desire. If you specify 
both a primary and secondary database and the user is not found in the primary database, the secondary 
database is searched. To configure where user's are authenticated/identified:

1. Click 

User Lookup Config

 on the left navigation pane of the User Management page. This displays the 

User Lookup Configuration page. 

2. Specify one of the following databases for 

Primary 

and for 

Secondary

. If the user is not found in the 

Primary database, the Secondary database is searched.

Local

Searches the local database for user login identification. Either the primary or secondary lookup must be 
Local.

Radius

Searches the Radius database for user login identification.

None

Searches no database.
