Creating Additional Realms
You can create realms in addition to the Default realm. For example, you want the Default realm to be
used for authentication to an LDAP server. If you want to use additional authentication methods for
users, such as RADIUS, SafeWord, RSA SecurID, NTLM, or locally on the appliance, you can create
realms for each of these. When the user logs on to realms that are not the Default realm, they need to
type the realm name and their user name, such as realm name\user name.
Note
Note: Watchguard recommends that realm names map to their corresponding domain names. This
enables users to log on using either realm name\user name or user name@realm name.
To create a realm
1On the Authentication tab, under Add an Authentication Realm, in Realm name, type the name of
the realm.

If users have one authentication type, click One Source.
-or-
If users have two authentication types, click Two Source.

If you are configuring double-source authentication, in Primary
authentication type, select the type
that users will log on to first. In Secondary authentication type, select the type that users will log on to
second. For more information, see “Configuring Double-Source Authentication” on page 85.
