8.7.15 AAA Server

You can use a AAA (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting) server to provide access control to
your network. The AAA server can be a Active Directory, LDAP, or RADIUS server. Use the AAA
Server screens to create and manage objects that contain settings for using AAA servers. You use
AAA server objects in configuring ext-group-user user objects and authentication method objects.
