Authentication

Authentication can be performed locally, with OTP, or on a remote Kerberos, LDAP, NIS,

Radius or TACACS+ authentication server. If the PM PDU is managed by a DSView 3 server,

DSView 3 authentication is also supported. The PM PDU also supports remote group

authorizations for the LDAP, Radius and TACACS+ authentication methods.

Fallback mechanisms of the following types are available:

Local authentication can be tried first, followed by remote, if the local authentication fails

(Local/Remote_Method)

-or-

Remote authentication may be tried first, followed by local (Remote_Method/Local)

-or-

Local authentication may be tried only if a remote authentication server is down (Remote_

Method_Down_Local).

An administrator can configure authentication using the CLI utility and the web manager. The

default authentication method for the PM PDU is Local. Any authentication method that is

configured for the PM PDU is used for authentication of any user who attempts to log in

through Telnet, SSH or the web manager.

Appliance authentication

Select Appliance Authentication to configure the authentication method used to log in to the

PM PDU with access to all allowed operations in the appliance, PDUs and outlets.

To set authentication for the PM PDU:

1. Click Authentication - Appliance Authentication.

2. Select the desired authentication server from the Authentication Type drop-down menu.

3. Click Save.

Authentication servers

parameters before it can be used. The following authentication servers require configuration:
