5.2 User Login

5.2.1 Default Authentication

There are different types of authentication databases (LOCAL, RADIUS and ONDEMAND) that are supported by
the system. But authentication can only be set in the Public Zone.
A postfix is used to inform the system which authentication option is to be used for authenticating an account (e.g.
Bob@local or Tim@radius1 etc.) when multiple options are concurrently in use. One of the authentication options
can be assigned as default. For authentication assigned as default, the postfix can be omitted. For example, if
"local" is the postfix of the default option, then user with username Bob can login as "Bob" without the need to type
in "Bob@local".

5.2.2 Login with Postfix

For each authentication option, set a postfix that is easy to distinguish (e.g. Local) users according to different
authentication servers. The acceptable characters are numbers (0~9), alphabet (a~z or A~Z), dash (-), underline (_)
and dot (.) within a maximum of 40 characters. All other characters are not allowed.
Beside the users managed by Default Authentication, all the other ones with different servers should log into the
system with usernames containing postfixes to identify which authentication option they belong to.
The postfix can be set for each Authentication database by clicking the Auth Option.
