Configuring local authentication
Local authentication uses the local system database to store user information, including passwords. Each user belongs to a unique group, identical to his or her user name. Local user accounts have one of the following modes:
- Standard: Typical user
- Admin: Similar to root, can do anything
- Report: Can only view Report tab (does not count against licenses)
- Email: Defines an email address (does not count against licenses)
- Disabled: Account is disabled
To configure local authentication
- Click the System tab.
- From the left menu, select Settings.
- To the right of the settings, click Login Config.
- From the pop-up menu, select the Local Account Database.
- Click Set and Configure.
(Optional) Enter a logoin ID and password to test the local account database.
Note
If a user had previously authenticated with MSAD or LDAP, a password hash exists in the system database from the last login. As a result, the user can authenticate using the previous login credentials.
