Method List

Select a server object from the drop-down list box. You can create a

 

server object in the AAA Server screen (see Chapter 39 on page 617 for

 

more information).

 

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.
