You can use both the local database and RADIUS server to authenticate users who try to access the network.
When a user authenticates, the security appliance first verifies the user’s credentials through the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server returns the authentication results to the security appliance. For a valid RADIUS user, the security appliance checks its user group service policy from the local database and permits access. For an invalid RADIUS user, then the security appliance uses the local database to verify it again. For a valid local user, the security appliance checks its user group service policy from the local database and permits access. For an invalid local user, the security appliance blocks access.
1. Click Users > User Authentication.
2. Choose RADIUS + Local Database as the authentication method.
3. Click Configure to configure the RADIUS settings for user authentication. For complete details, see Using RADIUS Server for User Authentication.
