Authentication Method

40.1 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

AAAserver objects. By default, user accounts created and stored on the ZyWALL are authenticated locally.

•Use the Configuration > Object > Auth. Method screens (Section 40.2 on page 628) to create and manage authentication method objects.
