Authentication Method
26.1 Overview
Authentication method objects set how the NXC authenticates wireless, HTTP/HTTPS clients, and captive
portal clients. Configure authentication method objects to have the NXC use the local user database,
and/or the authentication servers and authentication server groups specified by AAA server objects. By
default, user accounts created and stored on the NXC are authenticated locally.

The Auth. Method screens (Section 26.2 on page 313) create and manage authentication method
objects.
