When an administrative user selects the Config-Authentication menu option, a screen appears for configuring authentication servers.The default authentication type is Local, and if it is selected, it requires no configuration. If any other authentication method is selected, additional fields appear on the screen for specifying the information that is required to set up communications with an authentication server of the selected type.When the administrative user configures an authentication server on this page, the server is available to perform authentication checking for logins to the following:
• Any devices that are configured to use that authentication method. See Configuring devices for how devices are assigned an authentication method.
• The OnBoard appliance, if it is subsequently configured to use that authentication method. See Configuring an authentication method for the OnBoard appliance for how the OnBoard appliance is assigned an authentication method.
