CHAPTER 5: Configuration

Service Access: Determines whether members of this LDAP group will be allowed to access command mode via the serial Setup Port, via Telnet/SSH or via both methods. (Default = Serial Port = On, Telnet/SSH = On.

Current/Power Metering: Determines whether or not members of this LDAP Group will be allowed to view current, voltage and temperature readings.

Note:

After you have defined LDAP Group parameters, make certain to save changes before proceeding. In the Web Browser Interface, click on the "Add LDAP Group" button to save parameters; in the Text Interface, press the [Esc] key several times until the Outlet Managed PDU displays the "Saving Configuration" message.

5.9.8.2 Viewing LDAP Groups

If you need to examine an existing LDAP group definition, the "View LDAP Groups" function can be used to review the group’s parameters and Plug Access Settings.

5.9.8.3. Modifying LDAP Groups

If you want to modify an existing LDAP Group in order to change parameters or plug access rights, the "Modify LDAP Group" function can be used to reconfigure group parameters. To Modify an existing LDAP Group, you must access the Outlet Managed PDU command mode using a password that permits access to Administrator Level commands. Once you have accessed the Modify LDAP Group menu, use the menu options to redefine parameters in the same manner that is used for the Add LDAP Group menu, as discussed in Section 5.9.8.1.

Note:

After you have finished modifying LDAP Group parameters, make certain to save the changes before proceeding. In the Web Browser Interface, click on the "Modify LDAP Group" button to save parameters; in the Text Interface, press the [Esc] key several times until the Outlet Managed PDU displays the "Saving Configuration" message and the cursor returns to the command prompt.

5.9.8.4. Deleting LDAP Groups

The Delete LDAP Group function is used to delete LDAP Groups that are no longer in use. In order to Delete an existing LDAP Group, you must access the Outlet Managed PDU command mode using a password that permits access to Administrator Level commands.
