For security purposes, users attempting to log in to the EMX must be
authenticated. The EMX supports the following authentication
mechanisms:

Local user database on the EMX

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)

Remote Access Dial-In User Service (Radius) protocol
By default, the EMX is configured for local authentication. If you stay with
this method, you only need to create user accounts. See
Creating Users
(on page 138).
If you prefer external authentication, you must provide the EMX with
information about the external Authentication and Authorization (AA)
server.
If both local and external authentication is needed, create user accounts
on the EMX in addition to providing the external AA server data.
When configured for external authentication, all EMX users must have an
account on the external AA server. Local-authentication-only users will
have no access to the EMX except for the admin, who always can access
the EMX.
If the external authentication fails, an "Authentication failed" message is
displayed. Details regarding the authentication failure are available in
the event log. See
Viewing or Clearing the Local Event Log
(on page
268).
Note that only users who have both the "Change Authentication Settings"
and "Change Security Settings" permissions can configure or modify the
authentication settings.
To enable external authentication:
1. Collect external AA server information. See Gathering LDAP/Radius
Information
(on page 191).
2. Enter required data for external AA server(s) on the EMX. See
Adding LDAP/LDAPS Servers
(on page 192) or
Adding Radius
Servers
(on page 195).

Radius Configuration Illustration
(on page 483).
3. If both the external and local authentication is needed, or you have to
return to the local authentication only, see
Managing External
Authentication Settings
(on page 197).
