 34: Managing User Status and Authentication Settings

On this page, you can configure the authentication method required, global user settings, and an 
acceptable user policy that is displayed to users when logging onto your network. 

• Select Use RADIUS for user authentication if you have more than 1,000 users or want to add an 

extra layer of security for authenticating the user to the SonicWALL. If you select Use RADIUS for 
user authentication, users must log into the SonicWALL using HTTPS in order to encrypt the 
password sent to the SonicWALL. If a user attempts to log into the SonicWALL using HTTP, the 
browser is automatically redirected to HTTPS.

• Select Use RADIUS but also allow locally configured users if you want to use both RADIUS 

and the SonicWALL local user database for authentication. 

• Select Configure users locally to configure users in the local database using the 

Users>Local Users and Users>Local Groups pages.

If you selected Use RADIUS for user authentication or Use RADIUS but also allow locally 
configured users, the Configure button becomes available.
