Managing External Authentication Settings

1. Select Device Settings → Security → Authentication to open the Authentication page.
2. Select a server in the list.
3. Enable both the external and local authentication.
   1. In the Authentication Type field, select the external authentication you want: LDAP or Radius.
   2. Select Use Local Authentication if Remote Authentication is not available.

      The HPDU always tries external authentication first. When external authentication fails, the HPDU switches to local authentication.

   3. Click Save.
4. Edit or delete a server:
   1. Click Edit, make any changes, and click Modify Server to save the changes.
   2. Click Delete to delete the server, and confirm the operation.
   3. Click Test Connection to test the connection to the selected server. User credentials might be required.
   4. To sort the access order of servers, click the Up arrow or Down arrow, which determines the access priority, and click Save Order.
5. Test the connection to a server.

   Note -  When the HPDU is successfully connected to one external authentication server, it stops trying to access the remaining servers in the authentication list, regardless of the user authentication result.

6. To disable external authentication without removing the servers:
   1. For the Authentication Type, select Local.
   2. Click Save.
