The WUI Authentication and Authorization screen (Certificates & Security > Remote Access > WUI Authorization Options) enables the administration of the available authentication (login) and authorization (allowed permissions) options.

Authentication

Users must be authenticated before logging on to the LoadMaster. The LoadMaster allows authentication of users to be performed using the LDAP authentication method as well as Local User authentication.

When all authentication methods are selected, the LoadMaster attempts to authenticate users using the authentication methods in the following order:

1. LDAP

2. Local Users

If the LDAP server is also not available, then Local User authentication methods are used.

If the LDAP authentication method is not selected, then the Local User authentication method is selected by default.

Authorization

LoadMaster allows the users to be authorized using Local User authorization. The user’s authorization decides what level of permissions the user has and what functions on the LoadMaster they are allowed to perform.

Authorization using LDAP is not supported.
