Setting Up External Authentication
For security purposes, users attempting to log in to the EMX must be
authenticated. The EMX supports the access using one of the following
authentication mechanisms:

Local database of user profiles on the EMX device

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 do not need to do anything other than create user
profiles for each authorized user.
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 profiles
on the EMX in addition to providing the external AA server's 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.
Only users who have the "Change Authentication Settings" permission
can set up or modify the authentication settings.
Important: Raritan disables SSL 3.0 and uses TLS for releases 3.0.4,
3.0.20 and later releases due to published security vulnerabilities in SSL
3.0. Make sure your network infrastructure, such as LDAP and mail
services, uses TLS rather than SSL 3.0.
Gathering the External Authentication Information
No matter which type of external authentication is preferred, the first step
is to gather the data of all external AA servers that you want to use.
