Field Description
Index Specifies an integer in the range 1 to 63 that uniquely
identifies the authentication method on the Nortel
SNAS 4050.
Name Specifies a name for the authentication method, as a
mnemonic aid.
Future releases of the Nortel SNAS 4050 software will
allow you to reference this name in a client filter, so
authentication to this server becomes a condition for
access rights for a group.
Mechanism Displays the authentication type for this method.
Display Name Specifies a name for the method, to display in the Login
Service list box on the portal login page, together with the
names of other authentication services available.
Group Authentication List Specifies another authentication method to use for
retrieving group information.
You can choose any existing Local or LDAP database to
retrieve group information. User groups that exist in the
RADIUS authentication scheme are added to the user
groups found in the specified authentication schemes.
