SNAS 4050.
Note: For best performance, set the authentication order so that the
method that supports the biggest proportion of users is applied first.

authentication methods, Nortel recommends that you set the Local
method to be first in the authentication order. The Local method is
performed extremely fast, regardless of the number of users in the
database. Response times for the other methods depend on such factors
as current network load, server performance, and number of users in the
database.
