Authentication List
The Authenticat ion List screen co ntains information for def ining an authentication method for the
selected Authentication List. For ex ample, if the user selects TACACS+ as the first entry, None as
the second, this causes authentication to first occur at the TACA CS+ server. If the TACACS+
server is inaccessible or not defined, the session is permitted.
Once the Authentication List is defined as Local, it is not possible to define an alternative
authentication method as it is a built-in system authentication method.
In order to configure RADIUS/TACACS+ authentication, the user name should be config ured as
$enab15$ on the RADIUS/TACACS+ server.
To configure the Authentication List method:
1. Click Security > Management Security > Authentication List. The Authentication List
screen displays:

•1,2,3 – Select the order in which authentication is applied. The possible field values are:
