LABEL DESCRIPTION
Name Specify a descriptive name for identification purposes.
You may use 1-31 alphanumeric characters, underscores(_), or dashes (-), but the
first character cannot be a number. This value is case-sensitive. For example,
“My_Device”.
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 38 on page 531 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.
