Configure the Override Admin Account

Should a network failure occur, an account is provided that may be used regardless of the unit’s ability to authenticate against an LDAP server. Before configuring other settings, this account should be configured.

To configure the Override Admin Account in the on-board web interface:

1Click the Configure tab, then click Users - Override Admin.

2Type the username and password you wish to assign to the user and then verify the password by typing it in the Verify Password field.

3Click Save.

Configuring DNS Settings

Before the LDAP client can resolve names, at least one DNS server must be specified.

The Network sub-category displays the name of the Remote Console Switch and allows you to change the network settings including the IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, LAN speed and DHCP/BootP setting. The name displayed for the Remote Console Switch will be the same as the name given in the System Name field in the SNMP category.

The Network sub-category allows the entry and maintenance of up to three DNS Servers. These DNS servers are used to resolve DNS names provided on the LDAP authentication panel.

NOTE: At least one DNS server must be configured for the LDAP feature to work.

NOTE: You can also set DNS server addresses using the appliance’s serial administrative interface. For information about using the serial administrative interface, please consult your appliance documentation.

To configure the DNS settings in the on-board web interface:

1Click the Configure tab, then click Remote Console Switch - Network.

2Specify the DNS settings and click Save.
