Enabling External and Local Authentication Services

To make authentication function properly all the time - even when external authentication is not available, you can enable both the local and remote authentication services.

When both authentication services are enabled, the PXE follows these rules for authentication:

  1. Choose Device Settings > Security > Authentication. The Authentication Settings dialog appears.
  2. Make sure you have selected one external authentication radio button, such as the LDAP radio button.
  3. Select the "Use Local Authentication if Remote Authentication service is not available" checkbox.
  4. Click OK.
