Description

Specifies an integer in the range 1 to 63 that uniquely identifies the authentication method on the Nortel SNAS 4050.

Specifies a name for the authentication method, as a mnemonic aid.

Future releases of the Nortel SNAS 4050 software will allow you to reference this name in a client filter, so authentication to this server becomes a condition for access rights for a group.
