Ÿ Authentication Database: The system supports five types of authentication databases: Local, POP3, RADIUS,

LDAP, and NT Domain.

Ÿ Postfix: A postfix is used to inform the system which authentication option is used for authenticating an

account (e.g. bob@BostonLdap or tim@TokyoRadius) when multiple options are concurrently in use. One of

authentication options can be assigned as default. The postfix can be omitted only when the default

authentication option is used. For example, if "BostonLdap" is the postfix of the default option, Bob can log in

with either "bob" or "bob@BostonLdap” as his username.

8 Note:

The format of a valid username is userid@postfix, where “ userid” is the user ID and “ postfix” is

the name of the selected authentication option.

Ÿ Group: An authentication option, such as POP3 or NT Domain, can be set as a Group with the same QoS or

Privilege Profile setting.

For more information on Group, please refer to Section 4.2.3. Group.

Only RADIUS, POP3, and LDAP authentication databases are allowed to be enabled in more than one

Auth Option.

Ÿ Name: Set a name for the authentication option by using numbers (0~9), alphabets (a~z or A

~Z), dash (-), underline (_), space and dot (.) within a maximum of 40 characters. The purpose

is that the administrator can identify the authentication options easily by their names such as

HQ-RADIUS.

Ÿ Postfix: Set a postfix that is easy to distinguish (e.g. Local) by using numbers (0~9), alphabets

(a~z or A~Z), dash (-), underline (_) and dot (.) within a maximum of 40 characters. All other

characters are not allowed.
