Enabling API authentication

If API authentication is enabled, follow these guidelines:
• There must be a minimum of one entry in the Permitted Software field. If not, a warning
message is displayed when you click Apply.
• The current HAFM appliance must be included. If not, the appliance loses manageability and
you are forced to use an alternate management interface to disable API authentication. If you
click Apply or Apply To without including the appliance in the permitted list, a message is
displayed, indicating that you must include the appliance in the Permitted Software list before
enabling API authentication.
• The current HAFM appliance cannot be deleted. If you remove the current appliance with API
authentication turned on, and you click Apply or Apply To, a message is displayed, indicating
that the current server ID cannot be removed when API authentication is enabled.
• Do not delete the last user in the database. If you do, a warning message is displayed,
indicating that the last software ID cannot be removed when API authentication is enabled.
For the Authentication method, the following applies:
• Use the Method list to select Local Only, Radius Only, or Local then Radius. The default is Local
Only.
