User Database Configuration

When XAUTH is enabled in an Edge Device configuration, users need to be authenticated
either by a local user database account or by an external RADIUS server. Whether or not you
use a RADIUS server, you might want some users to be authenticated locally. These users
need to be added to the List of Users table on the Users screen, as described in
User Accounts on page 362.

Description
For an Edge Device configuration, from the drop-down list, select one of the following
authentication types:
• User Database. XAUTH occurs through the UTM's user database. You can add
users on the Add User screen (see
• Radius PAP. XAUTH occurs through RADIUS Password Authentication Protocol
(PAP). The local user database is first checked. If the user account is not present in
the local user database, the UTM connects to a RADIUS server. For more
information, see RADIUS Client Configuration

Authentication Protocol (CHAP). For more information, see
