Configuring an authentication scheme
Authentication schemes define one or more authentication servers to try to validate the identity of a
user. Think of an authentication scheme as a grouping of one or more authentication servers similar to
how user groups hold one or more users.
Caution: When creating an authentication scheme name, the word sequence is reserved. Do not use the
word sequence in your scheme names.
To assign authentication to a rule, you must first define an authentication scheme and then assign this
scheme to the rule.
Note: When OOBA is used with an authentication sequence, the same user name must be defined on all
authentication servers in the sequence.
