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.
