4. Click Connection in the side navigation bar. The Authentication Service Connection

Address field.
7. Type the number of the port you wish to use for connecting to the LDAP host in the Port

8. Specify a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Encryption mode:
• Click Do Not Use SSL to have authentication performed using unencrypted clear text
instead of SSL encryption. This method is the least secure and automatically sets the
Port Number field to a default port number of 389.
• Click Use SSL in Trust All Mode to use SSL encryption for data transmission. All
server certificates will be trusted and automatically accepted by the Rack Power
Manager software for transmitting data. This SSL method provides medium security
and automatically sets the Port Number field to a default port number of 636.
This encryption mode is not recommended for wide area networks (WANs).
• Click Use SSL in Certificate-based Trust Mode to use SSL encryption for data
transmission. The Rack Power Manager software will approve the server and then the
certificate before transmitting data. This SSL method provides maximum security and
automatically sets the Port Number field to a default port number of 636.
9. Click Save to save your changes.
If you selected Use SSL in Certificate-based Trust Mode, the Certificates heading will

will open and list all servers that belong to the domain. A status of Trusted indicates the
certificate is trusted, based on the certificate policy (see System certificate policy and trust
store on page 50); Untrusted indicates the certificate cannot be trusted.

all server IP addresses on the page, click the checkbox to the left of the IP Address
heading.
12. Click Register to register the certificates. The Accept SSL Certificate window will appear.
