AAA (Authentication, Authorization and Accounting)

You use the Authentication > AAA to configure how user logins are authenticated. The appliance can authenticate users against the local user database configured in the FM Users or against the database stored on an external authentication server (LDAP, RADIUS, or TACACS+). You can specify a hierarchy of login options, allowing failover in case a given method fails. As shown in the figure above, the AAA tab also shows you how the currently logged-in user was authenticated – Local, RADIUS, TACACS+, or LDAP.
