OUTLET MANAGED PDU

•Kerberos Setup: Kerberos is a network authentication protocol, which provides a secure means of identity verification for users who are communicating via a non-secure network. In the Text Interface, Kerberos parameters are selected via a submenu that is only available when Kerberos is selected as Bind Type. In the Web Browser Interface, Kerberos parameters are defined via the main LDAP Parameters menu. The following parameters are available:

Port: (Default = 88.)

Realm: (Default = Undefined.)

Key Distribution Centers (KDC1 through KDC5): (Default = Undefined.)

Domain Realms 1 through 5: (Default = Undefined.)

•LDAP Group Setup: Provides access to a submenu, which is used to define LDAP Groups as described in the Sections 5.9.8.1 through 5.9.8.4.

5.9.8.1. Adding LDAP Groups

Once you have defined several users and passwords via your LDAP server, and assigned those users to LDAP Groups, you must then grant command and port access rights to each LDAP Group at each individual Outlet Managed PDU. In order to Add an LDAP Group, you must access the Outlet Managed PDU command mode using a password that permits Administrator Level commands. The Add LDAP Group menu allows the following to be defined:

•Group Name: Note that this name must match the LDAP Group names that you have assigned to users at your LDAP server. (Default = undefined.)

•Access Level: Sets the command access level to either Administrator, SuperUser, User or ViewOnly. For more information on Access Levels, please refer to Section 5.4.1. (Default = User.)

•Port Access: Enables/disables this LDAP Group’s access to the serial Setup Port. (Default = Disabled.)

•Plug Access: Determine which plugs members of this group will be allowed to control. (Default = All Plugs Off.)

•Plug Group Access: Determines which plug groups the members of this LDAP Group will be allowed to control. (Default = undefined.)
