11: User Authentication

 

 

 

 

Certificate Authority

A certificate can be uploaded to the SLC unit for peer authentication. If a certificate

 

 

is uploaded, all 3 files are required. The Certificate Authority and Certificate File are

 

Certificate File

 

in PEM format, eg:

 

 

 

Key File

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

 

 

 

 

(certificate in base64 encoding)

 

 

-----END CERTIFICATE-----

 

 

The Key File is in PEM format, eg:

 

 

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

 

 

(private key in base64 encoding)

 

 

-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

 

 

 

 

Custom Menu

If custom menus have been created, you can assign a default custom menu to

 

 

LDAP users. (See “Custom Menus” on page 220.)

 

 

 

 

Escape Sequence

A single character or a two-character sequence that causes the SLC 8000

 

 

advanced console manager to leave direct (interactive) mode. (To leave listen

 

 

mode, press any key.)

 

 

A suggested value is Esc+A (escape key, then uppercase "A" performed quickly

 

 

but not simultaneously). You would specify this value as \x1bA, which is

 

 

hexadecimal (\x) character 27 (1B) followed by an A.

 

 

This setting allows the user to terminate the connect direct command on the

 

 

command line interface when the endpoint of the command is deviceport, tcp, or

 

 

udp.

 

 

 

 

Break Sequence

A series of 1-10 characters users can enter on the command line interface to send

 

 

a break signal to the external device. A suggested value is Esc+B (escape key,

 

 

then uppercase “B” performed quickly but not simultaneously). You would specify

 

 

this value as \x1bB, which is hexadecimal (\x) character 27 (1B) followed by a B.

 

 

 

 

Enable for Dial-back

Select to grant a user dial-back access. Users with dial-back access can dial into

 

 

the SLC unit and enter their login and password. Once the SLC 8000 advanced

 

 

console manager authenticates them, the modem hangs up and dials them back.

 

 

Disabled by default.

 

 

 

 

Dial-back Number

The phone number the modem dials back on depends on this setting for the device

 

 

port. The user is either dialed back on a fixed number, or on a number that is

 

 

associated with the user’s login (specified here).

 

 

 

 

Data Ports

The ports users are able to monitor and interact with using the connect

 

 

direct command. U1 and U2 denote the USB upper and lower ports on the front

 

 

of the SLC unit.

 

 

 

 

Listen Ports

The ports users are able to monitor using the connect listen command.

 

 

 

 

Clear Port Buffers

The ports whose port buffer users may clear using the set locallog clear

 

 

command.

 

 

 

3. In the User Rights section, select the user group to which LDAP users will belong:

Group

Select the group to which the LDAP users will belong:

Default Users: This group has only the most basic rights. You can specify additional rights for the individual user.

Power Users: This group has the same rights as Default Users plus Web Access, Networking, Date/Time, Reboot & Shutdown, and Diagnostics & Reports.

Administrators: This group has all possible rights.
