Configuring System Authentication

On the Users Quick Configuration page, you can configure the authentication methods the Services Router uses to verify that a user can gain access. For each login attempt, the router tries the authentication methods in order, starting with the first one, until the password matches.

If you do not configure system authentication, users are verified based on their configured local passwords.

Figure 3 shows the Users Quick Configuration page.

To configure system authentication with Quick Configuration:

1. In the J-Web interface, select Configuration>Quick Configuration>Users.
2. Under Authentication Servers, select the check box next to each authentication method the router must use when users log in:
   • RADIUS
   • TACACS+
   • Local Password
3. Click one of the following buttons on the Users Quick Configuration page:
   • To apply the configuration and stay in the Users Quick Configuration page, click Apply.
   • To apply the configuration and return to the Quick Configuration page, click OK.
   • To cancel your entries and return to the Quick Configuration page, click Cancel.
