Setting Up External Authentication
Important: Make sure your network infrastructure uses TLS rather than SSL.
PRO4X supports the following authentication mechanisms:
•
•
Local user database
•
•
LDAP
•
•
RADIUS
•
•
TACACS+
Local authentication is the default method. If you use this method, you only need to create user
accounts. See
User Management
If you prefer external authentication, you must provide information about the external Authentication
and Authorization (AA) server.
If both local and external authentication is needed, create user accounts on the PRO4X in addition to
providing the external AA server data.
When configured for external authentication, all users must have an account on the external AA server.
Local‑authentication-only users will have no access to the PRO4X except for the admin, who always can
access.
