no ip http authentication
• method1 [ method2... ] — Specify at least one from the following table:
Default Configuration

command ip http authentication local.
Command Mode
Global Configuration mode
User Guidelines
The additional methods of authentication are used only if the previous
method returns an error, not if it fails. To ensure that the authentication
succeeds even if all methods return an error, specify none as the final method
in the command line. For example, if none is specified as an authentication
method after radius, no authentication is used if the RADIUS server is down.
Example
The following example configures the http authentication.
console(config)# ip http authentication radius local
ip https authentication
Use the ip https authentication command in Global Configuration mode to
specify authentication methods for users authenticating over HTTPS. To
return to the default configuration, use the no form of this command.
