Option Description

access To activate changes to any of these selections, log off from the Rack PDU:

• Disable: Disables access to the Web interface. (To re-enable access, log in to the command line

interface, then type the command http -S enable. For HTTPS access, type https -S

enable.)

• Enable HTTP (the default): Enables Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which provides

Web access by user name and password, but does not encrypt user names, passwords, and data

during transmission.

• Enable HTTPS: Enables Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS) over Secure Sockets Layer

(SSL). SSL encrypts user names, passwords, and data during transmission, and authenticates the

Rack PDU by digital certificate. When HTTPS is enabled, your browser displays a small lock

icon.

See “Creating and Installing Digital Certificates” in the Security Handbook, available at

www.apc.com.

HTTP Port: The TCP/IP port (80 by default) used to communicate by HTTP with the Rack

PDU.

HTTPS Port: The TCP/IP port (443 by default) used to communicate by HTTPS with the Rack

PDU.

For either of these ports, you can change the port setting to any unused port from 5000 to 32768

for additional security. Users must then use a colon (:) in the address field of the browser to specify

the port number. For example, for a port number of 5000 and an IP address of 152.214.12.114:

http://152.214.12.114:5000

https://152.214.12.114:5000

ssl

certificate

Add, replace, or remove a security certificate.

Status:

• Not installed: A certificate is not installed, or was installed by FTP or SCP to an incorrect

location. Using Add or Replace Certificate File installs the certificate to the correct location,

/ssl on the Rack PDU.

• Generating: The Rack PDU is generating a certificate because no valid certificate was found.

• Loading: A certificate is being activated on the Rack PDU.

• Valid certificate: A valid certificate was installed or was generated by the Rack PDU. Click on

this link to view the contents of the certificate.

If you install an invalid certificate, or if no certificate is loaded when you enable

SSL, the

Rack PDU generates a default certificate, a process which delays access to

the interface for up to one minute.

You can use the default certificate for basic encryption-

based security, but a security alert message displays whenever you log on.

Add or Replace Certificate File: Enter or browse to the certificate file created with the

Security Wizard.

See “Creating and Installing Digital Certificates” in the Security Handbook, available at

www.apc.com, to choose a method for using digital certificates created by the Security Wizard or

generated by the Rack PDU.

Remove: Delete the current certificate.
