This section is for administrators to pre-configure authentication servers for the entire system.
Concurrently up to three servers can be selected and pre-configured for static user authentication,
one server uses built-in LOCAL database while the other two servers uses external RADIUS database.
In addition, another server called On-demand can be configured for temporary user authentication.
y Auth Database: There are four different authentication options in WSG-500 that uses databases:
LOCAL, RADIUS1, RADIUS2 and ONDEMAND.
y Auth Server Name: Set a name for the authentication databases by using numbers (0~9),
alphabets (a~z or A ~Z), dash (-), underline (_), space and dot (.) only. This name is used for the
administrator to identify the authentication options easily such as HQ-RADIUS.
y Postfix: A postfix represents the authentication server in a complete username. For example,
user1@local means that this user (user1) will be authenticated against the LOCAL authentication
database.
y Policy: Select one Policy from the drop-down list box for this specific authentication option.
y Black List: There are 5 sets of black lists provided by the system. A user account listed in the
black list is not allowed to log into the system, the client's access will be denied. The administrator
may select one (or None) black list from the drop-down menu and this black list will be applied to
this specific authentication option.
y Configure: Click Configure button to enter the specific authentication page. For example, if you
want to edit the Local authentication database, please click Configure button of Local.
