Chapter 4. User Authentication Database

4.1. Authentication Database Configuration

Authentication database is a storage device where users' credentials may be
inquired for validity. When a user is associated to an authentication enabled in
Service Zone, the 4ipnet WHG controller checks the database to see if the
submitted user ID and password combination exists, in order for the user to get
network access. 4ipnet WHG controllers support built-in and external authentication
databases.
All the authentication options are listed below:
Built-in Authentication options
Local with user credentials stored in the built-in Local database.
On-Demand with user credentials stored in the built-in On-Demand database.
Free an access option that allows users to access networks with any specified
identity token on the login page.
External Authentication Options
These options use external servers to implement the authentication process. 4ipnet
WHG controllers support some of the most common external authentication
options, including: RADIUS, LDAP, NT Domain, POP3, SIP.
