Basic Configuration
• Debug: This option is used to assist WTI Technical Support personnel with the
diagnosis of LDAP issues. (Default = Off)
• PingTest: Allows you to ping IP addresses or domain names that have been
defined via the LDAP Parameters menus in order to check that a valid IP address or
domain name has been entered.
Notes:
• In order for the Ping Test feature to function, your network and/or firewall
must be configured to allow ping commands.
• In addition to the Ping Test feature, the /TEST command in the Text Interface
or the "Test" option in the Web Browser Interface can also be used to ping
any user defined IP address in order to make certain that the IP address is
responding.
5.9.8.1. AddingLDAPGroups
Once you have defined users and passwords via your LDAP server, and assigned users
to LDAP Groups, you must then grant command and port access rights to each LDAP
Group at each individual VMR/NPS unit. In order to Add an LDAP Group, you must
access the VMR/NPS command mode using a password that permits Administrator
Level commands. The Add LDAP Group menu allows the following to be defined:
• GroupName: Note that this name must match the LDAP Group names that you
have assigned to users at your LDAP server. (Default = undefined.)
• AccessLevel: Sets the command access level to either Administrator, SuperUser,
User or ViewOnly. For more information on Access Levels, please refer to
Section 5.4.1. (Default = User.)
• PortAccess: Enables/disables this LDAP Group's access to the serial Setup Port.
(Default = undefined.)
• PlugAccess: Determine which plugs members of this group will be allowed to
control. (Default = undefined.)
• PlugGroupAccess: Determines which plug groups the members of this LDAP
Group will be allowed to control. (Default = undefined.)
• ServiceAccess: Selects access methods for this LDAP Group. Determines
whether members of this LDAP Group will be allowed to access command mode
via Serial Port, Telnet/SSH, Web and/or to establish outbound connections. Also
enables/disables Outbound Telnet. (Default; Serial Port = On, Telnet/SSH = On,
Outbound Access = Off.)
• Current/PowerMetering: (VMR Only) Determines whether or not members of this
LDAP Group will be allowed to view current, voltage and temperature readings.
Notes:
• Current and Power Metering functions are not available on NPS units.
• After you have defined LDAP Group parameters, make certain to save
changes before proceeding. In the Web Browser Interface, click on the
"Add LDAP Group" button to save parameters; in the Text Interface, press the
[Esc] key several times until the VMR/NPS displays the "Saving Configuration"
message.
