User's Manual
* Uses LDAP V3
If the Rack Power Manager server is configured for external authentication, login requests are
re-directed to the configured external authentication server.
The Rack Power Manager software obtains external group membership and external user
information when a user logs in. If a user’s group membership changes or the user is deleted
externally, the Rack Power Manager software will not see these changes until the next time the
user logs in.
You may schedule a task that will automatically verify LDAP, Active Directory and NT
external authentication servers to ensure that accounts are still valid; see Task: Validating user
accounts on an external authentication server on page 272.
Authentication services may be managed only by Rack Power Manager software administrators
and user administrators.
To display configured authentication services:
1. Click the Users tab.
2. Click Authentication Services in the top navigation bar. The User Authentication Services
window will open.
The User Authentication Services window may be customized by using the Customize link. See
Using the Customize link in windows on page 30.
To remove authentication services:
