Local Users

Setting user access

Path: Administration > Security > Local Users > options

The Administrator user account always has access to the Management Card.

The Device User and Read-Only User accounts are enabled by default. To disable the Device User or Read-Only User accounts, select the user account from the left navigation menu, then clear the Enable check box.

You set the case-sensitive user name and password for each account type in the same manner. Maximum length is 10 characters for a user name and 32 characters for a password. Blank passwords (passwords with no characters) are not allowed.

For information on the permissions granted to each account type (Administrator, Device User, and Read-Only User), see “Types of user accounts” on page 3.

Remote Users

Authentication

Path: Administration > Security > Remote Users > Authentication Method

Use this option to select how to administer remote access to the Management Card.

For information about local authentication (not using the centralized authentication of a RADIUS server), see the Security Handbook, available on the Utility CD and on the APC Web site at www.apc.com.

American Power Conversion supports the authentication and authorization functions of RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service).

•When a user accesses the Network Management Card or other network-enabled device that has RADIUS enabled, an authentication request is sent to the RADIUS server to determine the user’s permission level.

•RADIUS user names used with the Network Management Card are limited to 32 characters.
