Security Tab for SRW2048 Switches - Authentication Profiles
The Authentication Profiles screen contains fields for selecting the user authentication method on the Switch.
User authentication occurs both locally and via an external server.
User authentication occurs in the order the methods are selected. For example, if both the Local and RADIUS
options are selected, the user is authenticated first locally. If the local user database is empty, the user is then
authenticated via the RADIUS server. If the authentication fails using the first method, the authentication process
ends.
If an error occurs during the authentication, the next selected method is used. To open the page, click Security -
Authentication Profiles.
