Integrating external authentication services
An external authentication server can be any server that supports either the RADIUS or the TACACS+ protocol, including Microsoft Active Directory servers.
Active Directory Server, RADIUS Authentication Server, and TACACS+ Authentication Server elements define the settings necessary for connecting to an external authentication server.
Authentication Method elements define the allowed authentication methods for the server, or the servers that use a particular authentication method.
In addition to the server element configuration in the Management Client, you must configure the external authentication server to allow the firewalls to use the authentication services.
