authentication is performed. If the first authentication method is not available, the second
one is used, until the full list is exhausted. For example, if "RADIUS, , None"
list is selected, the RADIUS server is used to authenticate a user. If the RADIUS server is
unavailable, or there is no RADIUS server on the network, the server is used to
authenticate a user. If the server is unavailable, or there is no server
on the network, then the user logs in with no authentication. The possible field values are:
– Local – Authentication occurs locally.
– RADIUS – Authentication occurs at the RADIUS server.

– None – No authentication type is applied.
• Old Password – Indicates the current password used to access the system.

Defining RADIUS Settings
Remote Authorization Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) servers provide additional security for
networks. RADIUS servers provide a centralized authentication method for web access.
The default parameters are user-defined, and are applied to newly defined RADIUS servers. If new
default parameters are not defined, the system default values are applied to newly defined
RADIUS servers.
