The following table describes the labels in this screen.
43.2.1 Creating an Authentication Method Object
Follow the steps below to create an authentication method object.
1 Click Configuration > Object > Auth. Method.
2 Click Add.
3 Specify a descriptive name for identification purposes in the Name field. You may use 1-31
alphanumeric characters, underscores(_), or dashes (-), but the first character cannot be a number.
This value is case-sensitive. For example, “My_Device”.
4 Click Add to insert an authentication method in the table.
5 Select a server object from the Method List drop-down list box.
6 You can add up to four server objects to the table. The ordering of the Method List column is
important. The UAG authenticates the users using the databases (in the local user database or the
external authentication server) in the order they appear in this screen.
If two accounts with the same username exist on two authentication servers you specify, the UAG
does not continue the search on the second authentication server when you enter the username
and password that doesn’t match the one on the first authentication server.
Note: You can NOT select two server objects of the same type.
7 Click OK to save the settings or click Cancel to discard all changes and return to the previous
screen.
