Mapping Authentication Methods
After authentication profiles are defined, they can be applied to management access methods. For example, con- sole users can be authenticated by Authentication Profile List 1, while Telnet users are authenticated by Authenti- cation Method List 2.
Authentication methods are selected using arrows. The order in which the methods are selected is the order by which the authentication methods are used.
To map authentication methods:
1.Click System > Management Security > Authentication > Authentication Mapping. The Authentication Mapping Page opens.
