154 Configuring System Information
Defining Authentication Profiles
The Authentication Profiles page contains fields for selecting the user authentication method on the
device. User authentication occurs:
•Locally
• Via an external server
User authentication can also be set to None.
User authentication occurs in the order the methods are selected. For example, if both the Local and
RADIUS options are selected, the user is authenticated first locally. If the local user database is empty,
the user is then authenticated via the RADIUS server.
If an error occurs during the authentication, the next selected method is used. To open the
Authentication Profiles page, click System→ Management Security→ Authentication Profiles in the tree
view.
