Introduction > OnSite Authentication Options > Local Fallback Options

Local Fallback Options
The authentication methods listed here use both local authentication and authentication servers in the order shown:
Local/AuthType
AuthType/Local
AuthTypeDown/Local
AuthTypeDown/Local/Radius
The AuthType/Local, AuthTypeDown/Local, and AuthTypeDown/Local/Radius authorization methods are referred to as authentication methods with local fallback options.
Local and OTP authentication methods and the authentication methods that have local fallback options require user accounts configured on the OnSite.
If an authentication server for a specified authentication method is down, and a local fallback option is not configured, then authentication fails for regular users. administrative users and for root.
If the authentication server is not available or the user account is not configured properly, then the OnSite administrator needs to work with the authentication server’s administrator to fix the problem. If logins to the OnSite are disabled, the root user can use the procedure in Recovering From Login Failure to fix the lock-out.
