Access priorities
The priority for access, beginning with the highest priority, is as follows:
• Local access to the command line interface from a computer with a direct serial
connection to the Rack PDU
• Telnet or Secure SHell (SSH) access to the command line interface from a remote
computer
• Web access
Security Access Description
Available methods:
• User name and password
• Selectable server port
• Web interface access that
can be enabled or disabled
• Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
In basic HTTP authentication mode, the user name and
password are transmitted base-64 encoded (with no
encryption).
SSL is available on Web browsers supported for use with the
Management Card or network-enabled device and on most
Web servers. The Web protocol HyperText Transfer Protocol
over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS) encrypts and decrypts
page requests to the Web server and pages returned by the
Web server to the user.
Security Access Description
Available methods:
• Centralized authentication of
access rights
• A server secret shared
between the RADIUS server
and the Rack PDU or device
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) is an
authentication, authorization, and accounting service used to
centrally administer remote access for each Rack PDU. (The
Rack PDU supports the authentication and authorization
functions.)
