Configuring Authentication Order (NSM Procedure)

You can configure the device so that user authentication occurs with the local password first, then with the RADIUS server, and finally with the TACACS+ server.

To configure authentication order:

1. In the NSM navigation tree, select Device Manager > Devices.
2. Click the Device Tree tab and then double-click the device for which you want to configure authentication order.
3. Click the Configuration tab. In the configuration tree, select System > Authentication Order.
4. In the Authentication Order workspace, click the New button. The New authentication-order list appears.
5. To add RADIUS authentication to the authentication order, select radius from the New authentication-order list.
6. To add TACACS+ authentication to the authentication order, select tacplus from the New authentication-order list.
7. To add Password authentication to the authentication order, select password from the New authentication-order list.
