Switched Rack PDU

USER’S GUIDE

®

RADIUS

RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) is an authentication, authorization, and accounting service. APC supports the authentication and authorization functions of RADIUS. Use this option to centrally administer remote access for each Rack PDU.

When a user accesses the Switched Rack PDU, it sends an authentication request to the RADIUS server to determine the user’s permission level.

RADIUS user names are limited to 32 characters.

For more information on user permission levels, see Types of user accounts.

The RADIUS server and the Rack PDU must be configured before RADIUS authentication and authorization will operate properly.

RADIUS servers use port 1812 by default to authenticate users. To use a different port, add a colon followed by the new port number to the end of the RADIUS server name or IP address.
