When using client certificate authentication, there are a number of different login methods which can be selected. One of these options (Password or Client certificate) will allow access using the username/password if a client certificate is not supplied. For further information on each of the login methods, refer to the Enable Client Certificate Authentication section.

When Session Management is enabled, it is possible to enable a No Local Password option for the LoadMaster users. If local certificates are in use and this option is enabled, the user will only be able to access the API using a local certificate and the user will not be able to access the LoadMaster WUI.

To enable the No Local Password option for a user, follow the steps below:

  1. In the main menu of the LoadMaster WUI, navigate to System Configuration > System Administration > User Management.

  2. Click Modify on the relevant user.

  3. Enable the No Local Password check box.

  4. Click OK to the pop-up message.
