Description
The page contains the following boxes:
Note
To be able to use the login authentication "RADIUS", "Local and RADIUS" or "RADIUS
and fallback Local", a RADIUS server must be stored and configured for user
authentication.
• Login Authentication
Specify how the login is made:
– Local
The authentication must be made locally on the device.
– RADIUS
The authentication must be handled via a RADIUS server.
– Local and RADIUS
The authentication is possible both with the users that exist on the device (user
name and password) and via a RADIUS server.
The user is first searched for in the local database. If the user does not exist there,
a RADIUS request is sent.
– RADIUS and fallback Local
The authentication must be handled via a RADIUS server.
A local authentication is performed only when the RADIUS server cannot be
reached in the network.
4.7.3.2 RADIUS client
Authentication over an external server
The concept of RADIUS is based on an external authentication server.
Each row of the table contains access data for one server. In the search order, the
primary server is queried first. If the primary server cannot be reached, secondary
servers are queried in the order in which they are entered.
If no server responds, there is no authentication.
