Managing User Status and Authentication Settings
User>Settings
On this page, you can configure the authentication method required, global user settings, and an
acceptable user policy that is displayed to users when logging onto your network.
Authentication Method
• Select Use RADIUS for user authentication if you have more than 1,000 users or want to add an
extra layer of security for authenticating the user to the SonicWALL. If you select Use RADIUS for
user authentication, users must log into the SonicWALL using HTTPS in order to encrypt the
password sent to the SonicWALL. If a user attempts to log into the SonicWALL using HTTP, the
browser is automatically redirected to HTTPS.
• Select Use RADIUS but also allow locally configured users if you want to use both RADIUS
and the SonicWALL local user database for authentication.
• Select Configure users locally to configure users in the local database using the
Users>Local Users and Users>Local Groups pages.
Configuring RADIUS Authentication
If you selected Use RADIUS for user authentication or Use RADIUS but also allow locally
configured users, the Configure button becomes available.
