Hi Team , 

To login to WLC controller via GUI - we would like to know what authentication mechanism does it use to authenticate local users(AD credentials)

can you clarify your question? 

It uses Local Authentication as you configured local username on WLC itself

@Rasika Nayanajith Sorry no …It uses AD credentials…

It may be using TACACS based authentication, have a look below & see a similar config on your WLC

Hi @Rasika Nayanajith 

I did not find any configuration under TACACs , But could see under RADIUS , So does this mean we use RADIUS for authentication?
