40.2.1 Creating an Authentication Method Object

Follow the steps below to create an authentication method object.

1Click Configuration > Object > Auth. Method.

2Click Add.

3Specify a descriptive name for identification purposes in the Name field. You may use 1-31 alphanumeric characters, underscores(_), or dashes (-), but the first character cannot be a number. This value is case-sensitive. For example, “My_Device”.

4Click Add to insert an authentication method in the table.

5Select a server object from the Method List drop-down list box.

6You can add up to four server objects to the table. The ordering of the Method List column is important. The ZyWALL authenticates the users using the databases (in the local user database or the external authentication server) in the order they appear in this screen.

If two accounts with the same username exist on two authentication servers you specify, the ZyWALL does not continue the search on the second authentication server when you enter the username and password that doesn’t match the one on the first authentication server.

Note: You can NOT select two server objects of the same type.
