method1
method2
method3
method4
At least one of up to four methods that WSS Software uses to handle
authentication. Specify one or more of the following methods in priority
order. WSS Software applies multiple methods in the order you enter
them.
A method can be one of the following:
• local—Uses the local database of usernames and user
groups on the WSS for authentication.
• server-group-name—Uses the defined group of
RADIUS servers for authentication. You can enter up to
four names of existing RADIUS server groups as
methods.
• none—For users with administrative access only, WSS
Software performs no authentication, but prompts for a
username and password and accepts any combination of
entries, including blanks.
Note: The authentication method none you can specify for administrative
access is different from the fallthru authentication type none, which
applies only to network access. The authentication method none allows
access to the WSS by an administrator. The fallthru authentication type
none denies access to a network user. (See “set service-profile auth-
fallthru” on page 308.)
