CN8600 User Manual
Authentication
The CN8600 allows log in authentication and authorization through external programs.
This screen lets you configure the RADIUS, LDAP, and CC Management settings.
If you want to use a RADIUS, LDAP, CC Authentication instead of the CN8600 device authentication, check Disable Device Authentication. Selecting this option will disable login authentication locally on the CN8600.
If the third party authentication server/external program you are using fails to authenticate and you cannot log on to the CN8600, you can enable local authentication through the local console. See page 128 for details on how to use the local console to enable authentication on the CN8600.
