Command Description
8) Edit group
This selection will prompt you select a Group to edit properties for. Once you
have selected the Group you want to edit, it will take you to the Edit Group
Menu so you can edit the group's rights (see page 118).
9) Delete group
This selection will prompt you select a group to delete. A group can only be
deleted if there are no users assigned to that group.
10) Show list of authorized 
groups
This selection displays a list of groups.
11) Set Telnet Timeout 
in seconds
This selection allows you to set the time a telnet session waits for a user to
login. When a Telnet client connects to the NetLinx Master, it is prompted for a
username. If the client does not enter a users name for the length of time set
in this selection, the session will be closed by the NetLinx Master.
12) Display Telnet Timeout 
in seconds
This selection displays the time a telnet session waits for a user to login.
13) Enter LDAP security
information
This selection prompts you to specify the LDAP URI. Once the URI is entered
and enter is pressed, a prompt for the next LDAP parameter will be displayed,
and so on until all LDAP parameters are entered.
Note: Options 3 - 10 (Add user, Edit user, Delete user, Show the list of
authorized users, Add group, Edit group, Delete group, Show list of authorized
groups) on the Security Setup menu are disabled when LDAP is enabled.
14) Test connection to LDAP
server
This selection initiates a bind to the BIND DN using the Search Password
entered.
• If the bind is successful, the message Connection successful is displayed.
• If the server could not be reached or the bind is unsuccessful, the message
Could not connect to server is displayed.
15) Make changes permanent 
by saving to flash
When changes are made to the security settings of the Master, they are
initially only changed in RAM and are not automatically saved permanently
into flash. This selection saved the current security settings into flash.
Also, if you attempt to exit the Main Security Menu and the security settings
have changed but not made permanent, you will be prompted to save the
settings at that time.
16) Reset Database
(administrator only function)
If a user has been given "administrator rights", this additional menu option is
displayed. This selection will reset the security database to its Default Security
Configuration settings, erasing all users and groups that were added. This is a
permanent change and you will be asked to verify this before the database is
reset.
This function is only visible to administrators.
17) Display Database
(administrator only function)
If a user has been given "administrator rights", this additional menu option is
displayed. This selection will display the current security settings to the
terminal (excluding user passwords). It also displays all users (minus
passwords), their group assignment (if any) and their rights, as well as all
groups and their rights.
This function is only visible to administrators.
