Using Local Database and RADIUS Server for Authentication
You can use both the local database and RADIUS server to authenticate the users
who try to access the network.
When you use both the local database and RADIUS server for authentication, the
security appliance first verifies the user name and password information of the
users through the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server returns the authentication
result to the security appliance. For a valid RADIUS user, the security appliance
checks its user group service policy from the local database and allows the user
to access the network. For an invalid RADIUS user, then the security appliance
uses the local database to verify the user. For a valid local user, the security
appliance checks its user group service policy from the local database and allows
the user to access the network. For an invalid local user, the security appliance
denies the user to access the network.
