Note: Whenever Legrand PDU is successfully connected to one external authentication server, it STOPS
trying access to remaining servers in the authentication list regardless of the user authentication result.
To enable both external and local authentication:
1. In the Authentication Type field, select the external authentication you want -- LDAP or Radius.
2. Select the following checkbox. Then the Legrand PDU always tries external authentication first.
Whenever the external authentication fails, the Legrand PDU switches to local authentication.
3. Click
Save.
To disable external authentication:
1. In the Authentication Type, select Local.
2. Click
Save.
Configuring Login Settings
Choose Device Settings > Security > Login Settings to open the Login Settings page, where you can:
Configure the user blocking feature.
Note: The user blocking function applies only to local authentication instead of external authentication
through AA servers.
Determine the timeout period for any inactive user.
Prevent simultaneous logins using the same login name.
To configure user blocking:
1. To enable the user blocking feature, select the "Block user on login failure" checkbox.
2. In the "Block timeout" field, type a value or click
to select a time option. This setting determines
how long the user is blocked.
If you type a value, the value must be followed by a time unit, such as '4 min.' See
Time Units
(on
page 105).
3. In the "Maximum number of failed logins" field, type a number. This is the maximum number of login
failure the user is permitted before the user is blocked from accessing the Legrand PDU.
4. Click
Save.
Tip: If any user blocking event occurs, you can unblock that user manually by using the "unblock" CLI
command over a local connection. See
Unblocking a User
(on page 415).
To set limitations for login timeout and use of identical login names:
1. In the "Idle timeout period" field, type a value or click
to select a time option. This setting
determines how long users are permitted to stay idle before being forced to log out.
If you type a value, the value must be followed by a time unit, such as '4 min.' See
Time Units
(on
page 105).
