For information about local authentication (not using the centralized authentication of a RADIUS
server), see the Security Handbook, available on the Utility CD and on the www.apc.com website.
The following authentication and authorization functions of RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User
Service) are supported:
• When a user accesses the NMC or other network-enabled device that has RADIUS enabled, an
authentication request is sent to the RADIUS server to determine the user’s permission level.
• RADIUS user names are limited to 32 characters with the NMC.
