42.3 Creating an Authentication Method Object
Follow the steps below to create an authentication method object.
1
Click Object > Auth. Method.
2
Click Add.
3
Specify a descriptive name for identification purposes in the Name field. You may
use 1-31 alphanumeric characters, underscores(_), or dashes (-), but the first
character cannot be a number. This value is case-sensitive. For example,
“My_Device”.
4
Click Add to insert an authentication method in the table.
5
Select a server object from the Method List drop-down list box.
6
You can add up to four server objects to the table. The ordering of the Method
List 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.
