The authentication must be made locally on the device.
The authentication must be handled via a RADIUS server.
The authentication is possible both with the users that exist on the device (user name
and password) and via a RADIUS server.
The user is first searched for in the local database. If the user does not exist there, a
RADIUS request is sent.
The authentication must be handled via a RADIUS server.
A local authentication is performed only when the RADIUS server cannot be reached in
the network.
