Who Can Access the Network

5.1

Type of Users

To configure Users, go to: Users >> Authentication.
This section is for administrators to pre-configure authentication servers for the entire system. Concurrently up to
three servers can be selected and pre-configured for static user authentication. One server uses built-in LOCAL
database while the other two servers use external RADIUS database. In addition, 'ONDEMAND' server can be
configured for temporary user authentication.

Authentication Settings: There are four different authentication options in HSG gateways that use databases:
LOCAL, RADIUS1, RADIUS2, ONDEMAND and FREE. Local and On-demand are built in databases with
user credentials stored locally, and RADIUS is one of the most common external authentication databases.
FREE is an access option that allows users to access networks with any specified identity token on the login
page. Click on the Authentication Options to configure.

Auth Option: Set a name for the authentication databases by using numbers (0~9), alphabets (a~z or A ~Z),
dash (-), underline (_), space and dot (.) only. This name is used for the administrator to easily identify the
authentication options such as HQ-RADIUS.

Postfix: A postfix represents the authentication server in a complete username. For example, user1@local
means that this user (user1) will be authenticated by the LOCAL authentication database.

Black List: There are 5 sets of black lists provided by the system. A user account listed on the black list is not
allowed to log into the system, the client's access will be denied. The administrator may select one (or None)
black list from the drop-down menu and it will be applied to this specific authentication option.

Configure: Click the Configure button to edit a specific authentication database for the server. For example, if
you want to edit the Local authentication database, please click the Configure button for Local.
