In most organisations there will be a requirement that accessing the ADC’s management interface must be done via the company’s own authentication services.
For such scenarios, we have provided the Authentication Service feature described here. This feature operates with local directory services, as well as external services such as SAML.
Option
Description
Authentication Mode
Local Only : This is the default mode and uses the local database within the ADC, for example for the user, admin.
Remote then Local: The ADC will attempt to validate the user against the remote authentication server specified in the Authentication Source field. If it is not successful, it will then use the local database as the source for validation.
Authentication Source
This drop-down menu allows you to select one if the authentication servers you have defined in Library > Authentication.
