Administrator Authenticated by:

• Default Authentication (Global Password)
• Local List Only (Individual Passwords)
• Authentication Server Only
• Authentication Server if not found in Local List
• Local List if no response from Authentication Server

You are required to define at least one Admin Authentication on the Server Manager window if you select either Authentication Server Only, Authentication Server if not found in Local List, or Local List if no response from Authentication Server.

If you choose Local List Only, Authentication Server if not found in Local List, or Local List if no response from Authentication Server, you must first go to the Local User List section on the bottom of the window, enter the user information, and click Apply to add each entry. If you don't proceed in this order, you cannot access the access point as one of the users.
