Metered Rack PDU
40
Configure the RADIUS Server
Summary of the configuration procedure
You must configure your RADIUS server to work with the Rack PDU.
1. Add the IP address of the Rack PDU to the RADIUS server client list (file).
2. Users must be configured with Service-Type attributes unless Vendor Specific
Attributes (VSAs) are defined. If no Service-Type attributes are configured, users
will have read-only access (on the Web interface only).
3. Vendor Specific Attributes (VSAs) can be used instead of the Service-Type
attributes provided by the RADIUS server. VSAs require a dictionary entry and a
RADIUS users file. In the dictionary file, define the names for the ATTRIBUTE and
Secret The shared secret between the RADIUS server and the Rack PDU.
Timeout The time, in seconds, that the Rack PDU waits for a response from the
RADIUS server.
Test Settings Enter the Administrator user name and password to test the RADIUS
server path that you have configured.
Skip Test and Apply Do not test the RADIUS server path.
Switch Server
Priority
Change which RADIUS server will authenticate users if two configured
servers are listed and RADIUS, then Local Authentication or
RADIUS Only is the enabled authentication method.
