ICSP Connectivity Security Example
If ICSP connectivity is enabled, a valid user name 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 check box and disable ICSP
Connectivity by clearing the ICSP Connectivity check box.
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 user name 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.
