ICSP Connectivity Security Example
If ICSP connectivity is enabled, a valid username and password is required to communicate with the NetLinx Master via 
an ICSP connection (TCP/IP, UDP/IP and RS-232). This is used with communication amongst various AMX hardware 
and software components. 
User Access
LDAP Server Configuration Master Configuration
An ICSP user should be configured for a specific Master 
and should be set up as a normal user.
Example:
dn: uid=ICSPUser,ou=people,ou=Dallas,
dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: person
objectClass: top
cn: ICSP User
sn: User
uid: ICSPUser
userPassword: password
Note: The DN of this user must be added as a member to 
the administrator groupOfNames objectClass on the server.
1) On the System Security Details page, disable LDAP by 
clearing the LDAP Enabled checkbox and disable ICSP 
Connectivity by clearing the ICSP Connectivity checkbox. 
2) Click the User level tab and navigate to the User Security 
Details page. 
3) Create a new user by clicking Add New User. 
4) Enter the User name and password as set up on the 
LDAP server (for example: ICSPUser and password). 
5) Set all Access privileges. 
6) Click the Accept button to complete adding the new user.
7) Return to the System Security Details page, and enter 
the common name (cn) of the groupOfNames objectClass 
that contains the member DN of the ICSP user that was just 
configured, and enable ICSP Connectivity, Encrypt ICSP 
Connection and LDAP by clicking on the appropriate 
checkboxes.
Note: If there is a mismatch with the username or 
password, the AMX hardware or software component will 
not be allowed access. If there is a mismatch with the 
access privileges, the master will use the privileges value 
stored on the server.
