Select Devices → All Devices → Device → Authentication to configure remote authentication groups, servers, and administrative login privileges. Click Edit to specify the source that the managed device uses to authenticate users.
  • Local — The SMS stores a hashed password for the user account and authenticates against a user database stored locally on the device.
  • SMS as Authentication Source — The SMS is responsible for user authentication. If you choose to use SMS as the authentication source, specify the Time Out Interval (in number of seconds) and make sure that SMS port 443 is open and accessible by the device.
  • RADIUS as Authentication Source — Authentication is performed on the RADIUS server; user role and access rights are maintained on the SMS server. You can specify up to three RADIUS servers. Note that user management remains on the device.
  • TACACS+ as Authentication Source — Authentication is performed on the TACACS+ server; user role and access rights are maintained on the SMS server. You can specify up to three TACACS+ servers. Note that user management remains on the device.

RADIUS authentication is supported on all TPS and vTPS devices. If the device does not support RADIUS authentication, the RADIUS options are disabled. If the device does not support TACACS+ authentication, this option is disabled.
