External User Authentication
If you store user information in an LDAP or RADIUS directory on your network, you can configure your Security Management appliance to use the external directory to authenticate users who log in to the appliance.

- If your deployment uses both local and external authentication, local user names must not duplicate externally-authenticated user names.
- If the appliance cannot communicate with the external directory, a user who has both an external and a local account can log in with a local user account on the appliance.
