CHAPTER 40
Authentication Method
40.1 Overview
Authentication method objects set how the ZyWALL authenticates wireless, HTTP/
HTTPS clients, and peer IPSec routers (extended authentication) clients. Configure
authentication method objects to have the ZyWALL use the local user database,
and/or the authentication servers and authentication server groups specified by
AAA server objects. By default, user accounts created and stored on the ZyWALL
are authenticated locally.

•Use the Configuration > Object > Auth. Method screens (Section 40.2 on
page 628) to create and manage authentication method objects.

See Section 7.5.3 on page 124 for an example of how to set up user
authentication using a radius server.
40.1.2 Before You Begin
Configure AAA server objects (see Chapter 39 on page 617) before you configure
authentication method objects.
40.1.3 Example: Selecting a VPN Authentication Method
