example.

Base DN for Search
Type
dc=techadssl,dc=com
as the starting point where your
search begins on the AD server.
Login Name Attribute
Ensure the field is set to
sAMAccountName
because the LDAP
server is Microsoft Active Directory.
User Entry Object Class Ensure the field is set to
user
because the LDAP server is Microsoft
Active Directory.
User Search Subfilter
The field is optional. The subfilter information is also useful for
filtering out additional objects in a large directory structure. In this
example, we leave it blank.

techadssl.com
.
4. Click Add Server.The LDAP server is saved.
5. In the Authentication Type field, select LDAP.
6. Click Save. The LDAP authentication is activated.
Note: If the Legrand PDU clock and the LDAP server clock are out of sync, the installed TLS certificates, if
any, may be considered expired. To ensure proper synchronization, administrators should configure the
Legrand PDU and the LDAP server to use the same NTP server(s).
Step D. Configure Roles on the Legrand PDU
A role on the Legrand PDU determines the system and outlet permissions. You must create the roles whose
names are identical to the user groups created for the Legrand PDU on the AD server or authorization will
fail. Therefore, we will create the roles named
PX_User
and
PX_Admin
on the PDU.
In this illustration, we assume:
Users assigned to the
PX_User
role can view settings only, but they can neither configure Legrand PDU
nor access the outlets.
Users assigned to the
PX_Admin
role have the Administrator Privileges so they can both configure
Legrand PDU and access the outlets.
To create the PX_User role with appropriate permissions assigned:
1. Choose User Management > Roles.
2. Click
to add a new role.
a. Type
PX_User
in the Role Name field.
b. Type a description for the PX_User role in the Description field. In this example, we type "View PX
settings" to describe the role.
