6.3.2. Default Authentication
In each Service Zone, there are different types of authentication database (LOCAL, POP3, RADIUS, LDAP,
NTDOMAIN, ONDEMAND, and SIP) that are supported by the entire system. There are up to six
authentication servers can be enabled, two of them constantly as Ondemand and SIP, and one of them can
be set as the Default Authentication– so that users do not have to type in the postfix string while entering
username during login.
A postfix is used to inform the system which authentication option to be used for authenticating an account
(e.g. bob@BostonLdap or tim@TaipeiRadius) when multiple options are concurrently in use. One of
authentication option can be assigned as default. For authentication assigned as default, the postfix can be
omitted. For example, if "BostonLdap" is the postfix of the default option, Bob can login as "bob" without
having to type in "bob@BostonLdap".
6.3.3. Login with Postfix
Set a postfix that is easy to relate (e.g. Local) user login with which authentication server. The acceptable
characters are numbers (0~9), alphabets (a~z or A~Z), dash (-), underline (_) and dot (.) within a maximum
of 40 characters. All other characters are not allowed.
Beside the Default Authentication, all other authentication server users need to key in postfix in username
during login in order for the Controller to recognize which authentication server to authenticate against.
