Authentication Method

32.1 Overview

Authentication method objects set how the ZyWALL authenticates wireless, HTTP/HTTPS clients, and peer IPSec routers (extended authentication) clients. Configure authentication method objects to have the ZyWALL use the local user database, and/or the authentication servers and authentication server groups specified by AAA server objects. By default, user accounts created and stored on the ZyWALL are authenticated locally.
