Additionally, you can use the controller’s internal database to authenticate users. You create entries in the database for
users and their passwords and default role.
You can create groups of servers for specific types of authentication. For example, you can specify one or more RADIUS
servers to be used for 802.1x authentication. The list of servers in a server group is an ordered list. This means that the
first server in the list is always used unless it is unavailable, in which case the next server in the list is used. You can
configure servers of different types in one group — for example, you can include the internal database as a backup to a
RADIUS server.
Server names are unique. You can configure the same server in multiple server groups. You must configure the server
before you can add it to a server group.

The server group is assigned to the server group for 802.1x authentication.
To create a new server group, click the Add button, or to edit an existing group, click the pencil icon next to that group.
