Table 52 Configuration fields

Field	Description
Index	Specifies an integer in the range 1 to 63 that uniquely
	identifies the authentication method on the Nortel
	SNAS 4050.
Name	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.
Mechanism	Displays the authentication type for this method.
Display Name	Specifies a name for the method, to display in the Login
	Service list box on the portal login page, together with the
	names of other authentication services available.
Group Authentication List	Specifies another authentication method to use for
	retrieving group information.
	You can choose any existing Local or LDAP database to
	retrieve group information. User groups that exist in the
	RADIUS authentication scheme are added to the user
	groups found in the specified authentication schemes.
