15.3.9 Configuring Local Database for Management User
Authentication
You can configure the device to use its local database (Web Users table) to authenticate
management users based on the username-password combination. You can configure the
device to use the Web Users table upon the following scenarios:

LDAP or RADIUS server is not configured (or broken connection), or always use the
Web Users table and only if the user is not found, to use the server.

Connection with the LDAP or RADIUS server fails due to a timeout. In such a
scenario, the device can deny access or verify the user's credentials (username-
password) locally in the Web Users table.
If user authentication using the Web Users table succeeds, the device grants management
access to the user; otherwise access is denied. The access level assigned to the user is
also determined by the Web Users table. To configure local Web/CLI users in the Web
Users table, see 'Configuring Web User Accounts' on page 71.
Notes:
•
This feature is applicable to LDAP and RADIUS servers.
•
This feature is applicable only to user management authentication.

To use the Web Users table for authenticating management users:
1. Open the Authentication Settings page (Configuration tab > System menu >
Management > Authentication Settings).
