Chapter 16
Authentication Server
This chapter discusses how to configure the authentication server on the ZyWALL.
16.1 Authentication Server Overview
A ZyWALL set to be a VPN extended authentication server can use either the local user database internal to
the ZyWALL or an external RADIUS server for an unlimited number of users. The ZyWALL uses the same
local user database for VPN extended authentication and wireless LAN security (see the VPN and wireless
LAN chapters).
16.2 Local User Database
By storing user profiles locally on the ZyWALL, your ZyWALL is able to authenticate VPN extended
authentication clients or wireless clients without interacting with a network RADIUS server. However, there
is a limit on the number of users you may authenticate in this way.
16.3 Configuring Local User Database
To change your ZyWALL’s local user list, click AUTH SERVER. The screen appears as shown.
