Defining Profiles
Authentication profiles allow network administrators to assign authentication
methods for user authentication. User authentication can be performed locally or
on an external server. User authentication occurs in the order the methods are
selected. If the first authentication method is not available, the next selected
method is used. For example, if the selected authentication methods are RADIUS
and Local, and the RADIUS server is not available, then the user is authenticated
locally.
