Multi-User And MultiAuth Authentication

This section will discuss multi-user and MultiAuth authentication. Multi-user and MultiAuth are separate concepts. The primary difference between the two is as follows:

• Multi-user authentication refers to the ability to authenticate multiple users and devices on the same port, with each user or device being provided the appropriate level of network resources based upon policy.
• MultiAuth authentication refers to the ability of a single or multiple user(s), device(s), or port(s) to successfully authenticate using multiple authentication methods at the same time, such as 802.1x, PWA, and MAC, with precedence determining which authentication method is actually applied to that user, device, or port.
