authentication.

Description
The authentication database contains user login information. The
local user database is the built-in database on the Business Secure
Router. The RADIUS is an external server. Use this field to decide
which database the Business Secure Router should use (first) to
authenticate a user.
Before you specify the priority, make sure you have set up the
corresponding database correctly first.
Select Local User Database Only to have the Business Secure
Router just check the built-in user database on the Business Secure
Router for a user's username and password.
Select RADIUS Only to have the Business Secure Router just check
the user database on the specified RADIUS server for a user's
username and password.
Select Local first, then RADIUS to have the Business Secure
Router first check the user database on the Business Secure Router
for a user's username and password. If the user name is not found,
the Business Secure Router then checks the user database on the
specified RADIUS server.
Select RADIUS first, then Local to have the Business Secure
Router first check the user database on the specified RADIUS server
for a user's username and password. If the Business Secure Router
cannot reach the RADIUS server, the Business Secure Router then
checks the local user database on the Business Secure Router. If the
username is not found or the password does not match in the
RADIUS server, the Business Secure Router does not check the
local user database and the authentication fails.
