RADIUS and Network Port Sharing

Note: See the Security Handbook for APC Network Management Cards for more information on using

RADIUS.

For RADIUS users file with VSAs, outlets on guest Rack PDUs can be associated to RADIUS users by using the following method.

#give user access to outlets 1, 2, and 3 on unit 1,

#outlet 7 on unit 2, outlets 1 through 6

#on unit 3, and outlets 1,2,4 through 6, 7 through 10,

#and 20 on unit 4

newOutletUser Auth-Type = Local, User-Password = "newoutlets" APC-Service-Type = Outlet,

APC-Outlets = "1[1,2,3];2[7];3[1-6];4[1,2,4-6,7-10,20];"

Inactivity Timeout

Path: Administration > Security > Auto Log Off

Use this option to configure the time (3 minutes by default) that the system waits before logging off an inactive user. If you change this value, you must log off for the change to take effect.

Note: This timer continues to run if a user closes the browser window without first logging off by clicking Log Off at the upper right. Because that user is still considered to be logged on, no user can log on until the time specified as Minutes of Inactivity expires. For example, with the default value for Minutes of Inactivity, if a user closes the browser window without logging off, no user can log on for 3 minutes.
