Chapter 39 Authentication Objects

ZyWALL USG 1000 User’s Guide

Follow the steps below to create an authentication object.

1 Click Object > Auth. Method.
2 Click Add.
3 Specify a descriptive name for identification purposes in the Name field. You may use 

1-31 alphanumeric characters, underscores(_), or dashes (-), but the first character 
cannot be a number. This value is case-sensitive. For example, “My_Device”.   

4 Click Add to insert an authentication method in the table.
5 Select a server object from the Method List drop-down list box.
6 You can add up to four server objects to the table. The ordering of the Method List 

column is important. The ZyWALL authenticates the users using the databases (in the 
local user database or the external authentication server) in the order they appear in this 
screen. 
If two accounts with the same username exist on two authentication servers you specify, 
the ZyWALL does not continue the search on the second authentication server when you 
enter the username and password that doesn’t match the one on the first authentication 
server. 

"

You can NOT select two server objects of the same type. 

7 Click OK to save the settings or click Cancel to discard all changes and return to the 

previous screen.
