What is the authentication sequence fallback criteria?
Environment
FW
When authentication sequences contains:
- First: external auth profile (RADIUS)
- Second: local user database
Answer
The authentication sequence will check every auth profile in the list until a successful login occurs.
That happens even if a server in the list returns an invalid password response or failed login.
Example: A user might provide the wrong password for in this case RADIUS but still authenticate successfully if the password matches the local user database.
