User's Guide

User Lookup

User authentication verification is performed when an access request is made to the system. The router
checks the user database to verify the user account by username and password, supplied by the user when
making the access request. You can specify where user authentication/identification is performed from the
User Lookup Configuration page.
You can specify both a primary and secondary database to use to identify users if you desire. If you specify
both a primary and secondary database and the user is not found in the primary database, the secondary
database is searched. To configure where user's are authenticated/identified:
1. Click User Lookup Config on the left navigation pane of the User Management page. This displays the
User Lookup Configuration page.
2. Specify one of the following databases for Primary and for Secondary. If the user is not found in the
Primary database, the Secondary database is searched.
•
Local
Searches the local database for user login identification. Either the primary or secondary lookup must be
Local.
•
Radius
Searches the Radius database for user login identification.
•
None
Searches no database.
