server failover and fallback to local authentication
In addition to the primary server, you can also configure your Connect IT 16/48 device to use
backup servers. Backup servers are used for authentication requests when the
primary server is unavailable.
Falling back to local authentication
With user authentication methods, you can configure your Connect IT 16/48 device to use multiple
types of authentication. For example, you can configure both authentication and local
authentication, so that local authentication can be used as a fallback mechanism if the primary and
backup servers are unavailable. Additionally, users who are configured locally but are not
configured on the server are still able to log into the device. Authentication methods are
attempted in the order they are listed until the first successful authentication result is returned;
therefore if you want to ensure that users are authenticated first through the server, and
only authenticated locally if the server is unavailable or if the user is not defined on the
server, then you should list the authentication method prior to the Local users
authentication method.
See User authentication methods for more information about authentication methods.
If the servers are unavailable and the Connect IT 16/48 device falls back to local
authentication, only users defined locally on the device are able to log in. users cannot log in
until the servers are brought back online.
