column is important. The ZyWALL authenticates the users using the
databases (in the local user database or the external authentication server) in the
order they appear in this screen.
If two accounts with the same username exist on two authentication servers you
specify, the ZyWALL does not continue the search on the second authentication
server when you enter the username and password that doesn’t match the one on
the first authentication server.
Note: You can NOT select two server objects of the same type.
