Setting the method to login to SMS
The method to log in to SMS can be specified by one of the following methods.
If you want to change the password authentication settings: Use RLS Authentication to log in, and change the settings.
If you want to change the RLS authentication settings: Use Password Authentication to log in, and change the settings.
The following table shows the start/stop combinations of the two login methods.
Combination of Login Methods

| Start RLS Authentication | Stop RLS Authentication
Start Password Authentication | Login available with either method | Login available only with
Stop Password Authentication | Login available only with RLS Authentication | Setting unavailable

CAUTION:
If only login via RLS is programmed, login may be disabled for the following reasons.
Authentication server is down
Network problem, no communication with authentication server
In the event of either of these cases, try the following.
1. If local device authentication is active, try logging in with local device authentication.
2. If only domain authentication is active, launch in MEAP safe mode from the device service mode.
After launching in MEAP safe mode, the Default Authentication will become active, and you will be able to login to SMS with password authentication. After logging into SMS, set the password authentication login to ON (active) and restore the device from MEAP safe mode to normal mode. Until the problem blocking authentication is resolved, log into SMS with password authentication.
