Security

Access to the web interface on the IPDU can be through standard methods (enable HTTP access- page 35) or limited to secure
access only (disable HTTP access and only allow HTTPS access which is always enabled by default). Security in the IPDU-Sx
can be managed one of two ways; through the local settings (passwords assigned in user settings on page 44) or through an
LDAP server. If security is configured to use LDAP mode, then the passwords for users must be those found on a configured
LDAP server. To view the Security Configuration page, select Security in the Administration section of the menu.
When in LDAP mode, usernames on the LDAP server must match those in the user settings of the IPDU-Sx or access will be
denied.
Note: When in LDAP mode, if the LDAP server is not responding, local authentication will be tried.

Even though LDAP authentication is being used, each user must also have a local account. User permission level is established
by the local account.
