Use Radius Authentication
Choosing RADIUS Authentication allows you to use the user information (user name, password, IP
address, etc.) stored on a separate RADIUS server on the network.
Note: A RADIUS Server (Remote Authentication Dial-In Service) is an accounting and
authentication system used by many large companies and Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
After a client dials in to the network and enters their username and password, the information is
passed to a RADIUS server. The RADIUS server checks that the information is correct, and then
allows access to the system.
