captcha-authentication-global

Allows you to enable or disable CAPTCHA for administrators signing in to the web admin console and for local and guest users signing in to the user portal using the WAN or VPN interfaces. The CAPTCHA is always active for the SPX portal and can't be turned off.

If you use this command to turn off the CAPTCHA, it overrides the VPN-specific setting. We recommend that you turn this setting on and only turn the CAPTCHA off for VPN users using the VPN-specific command, captcha-authentication-vpn.

Signing in from a LAN interface doesn't require a CAPTCHA.
