User Login Settings
In the Authentication method for login drop-down list, select the type of user account
management your network uses:
• Select Local Users to configure users in the local database in the SonicWALL appliance
using the Users > Local Users and Users > Local Groups pages.
For information about using the local database for authentication, see “Using Local Users
and Groups for Authentication” on page 600.
For detailed configuration instructions, see the following sections:
–
“Configuring Local Users” on page 618
–
“Configuring Local Groups” on page 621
• Select RADIUS 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 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.
For information about using the local database for authentication, see “Using RADIUS for
Authentication” on page 602.
For detailed configuration instructions, see “Configuring RADIUS Authentication” on
page 625
• Select RADIUS + Local Users if you want to use both RADIUS and the SonicWALL local
user database for authentication.
• Select LDAP if you use a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server, Microsoft
Active Directory (AD) server, or Novell eDirectory to maintain all your user account data.
For information about using the local database for authentication, see “Using LDAP / Active
Directory / eDirectory Authentication” on page 602.
For detailed configuration instructions, see “Configuring LDAP Integration in SonicOS
Enhanced” on page 631
• Select LDAP + Local Users if you want to use both LDAP and the SonicWALL local user
database for authentication.
In the Single-sign-on method drop-down list, select SonicWALL SSO Agent if you are using
Active Directory for authentication and the SonicWALL SSO Agent is installed on a computer
in the same domain. Otherwise, select None. For detailed SSO configuration instructions, see
“Configuring Single Sign-On” on page 641.
In the Show user authentication page for field, enter the number of minutes that a user has
to log in before the login page times out. If it times out, a message displays saying they must
click before attempting to log in again.
Select Case-sensitive user names to enable matching based on capitalization of user account
names.
