You can add up to four server objects to the table. The ordering of the Method

List column is important. The NXC authenticates the users using the databases (in
the local user database or the external authentication server) in the order they
appear in this screen.
If two accounts with the same username exist on two authentication servers you
specify, the NXC does not continue the search on the second authentication server
when you enter the username and password that doesn't match the one on the
first authentication server.
