Metered Rack PDU User Guide55

Administration: Security

Local Users

Setting user access

Path: Administration > Security > Local Users > options

The Administrator user account always has access to the Rack PDU.

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

checkbox.

You set the case-sensitive user name and password for each account type in the same manner. Maximum

length is 64 characters for a user name and 64 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 2.

Remote Users

Authentication

Path: Administration > Security > Remote Users > Authentication Method

Use this option to select how to administer remote access to the Rack PDU.

For information about local authentication (not using the centralized authentication of a RADIUS

server), see the Security Handbook, available at www.apc.com.

The authentication and authorization functions of RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User

Service) is supported.

• When a user accesses the Rack PDU or other network-enabled device that has RADIUS enabled,

an authentication request is sent to the RADIUS server to determine the User permission level.

• RADIUS user names used with the Rack PDU are limited to 32 characters.
