Configuring authentication and authorization

Perform this task on the FTP server to authenticate FTP clients and set the authorized directories that
authenticated clients can access.
The following authentication modes are available:
• Local authentication—The device looks up the client's username and password in the local user
account database. If a match is found, authentication succeeds.
Remote authentication—The device sends the client's username and password to a remote
•
authentication server for authentication. The user account is configured on the remote
authentication server rather than the device.
The following authorization modes are available:
Local authorization—The device assigns authorized directories to FTP clients based on the locally
•
configured authorization attributes.
Remote authorization—A remote authorization server assigns authorized directories on the device
•
to FTP clients.
For information about configuring authentication and authorization, see Security Configuration Guide.
