OUTLET MANAGED PDU
78
5.9.8. LDAP Parameters
The Outlet Managed PDU supports LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol,)
which allows authentication via the "Active Directory" network Directory Service.
When LDAP is enabled and properly congured, command access rights can be
granted to new users without the need to dene individual new accounts at each
Outlet Managed PDU, and existing users can also be removed without the need to
delete the account from each Outlet Managed PDU.
This type of authentication also allows administrators to assign users to LDAP
groups, and then specify which plugs the members of each group will be allowed to
control at each Outlet Managed PDU.
In order to apply the LDAP feature, you must rst dene User Names and associated
Passwords and group membership via your LDAP server, and then access the Outlet
Managed PDU command mode to enable and congure the LDAP settings and
dene port access rights and command access rights for each group that you have
specied at the LDAP server.
Notes:
• Plug access rights are not defined at the LDAP server. They are
defined via the LDAP Group configuration menu on each Outlet
Managed PDU and are specific to that Outlet Managed PDU alone.
• When LDAP is enabled and properly configured, LDAP
authentication will supersede any passwords and access
rights that have been defined via the Outlet Managed PDU user
directory.
• If no LDAP groups are defined on a given Outlet Managed PDU,
then access rights will be determined as specified by the "default"
LDAP group.
• The "default" LDAP group cannot be deleted.
