Is it true or false that adding an authentication server to the Sophos Firewall makes it the default authentication method?

The statement is false because adding an authentication server to the Sophos Firewall does not automatically designate it as the default authentication method. Sophos Firewall allows for multiple authentication methods, and the selection of the default method is based on the firewall's configuration settings, which can include local authentication, Active Directory, RADIUS, or other methods.

In practice, administrators have the flexibility to choose which authentication server or method to use as default based on their network requirements and security policies. Depending on how the firewall is configured, including the priority of the authentication methods, the newly added server may or may not take precedence over others. Therefore, the configuration plays a significant role in determining how authentication is managed, emphasizing that merely adding a server doesn’t impose it as the default method.
