Defining Authentication Profiles
Authentication profiles allow network administrators to assign authentication methods for user authentication.
User authentication can be performed either locally or on an external server. User authentication occurs in the
order the methods are selected. If the first authentication method is not available, the next selected method is
used. For example, if the selected authentication methods are RADIUS and Local, and the RADIUS server is not
available, then the user is authenticated locally. To define Authentication profiles:
1.
Click System > Management Security > Authentication > Authentication Profiles. The Authentication
Profile Page opens.
