Enabling or disabling Telnet or SSH support:
Select Enabled or Disabled from the appropriate Server drop-down menu and press Apply.
Changing the Telnet or SSH server port num­ber:
In the appropriate Port field, enter the port num­ber and press Apply.
Enabling or disabling SSH server authentica­tion methods:
The PDU SSH server supports two authentication methods for security and validation: Password and Keyboard-Interactive.
Password is an authentication method where the SSH client gathers username/password creden­tials and makes the authentication request to the SSH sever with the credentials. The Password method is controlled by the SSH client.
Keyboard-Interactive is an authentication method where the SSH server controls an information field followed by one or more prompts requesting cre­dential information from the SSH client. The client gathers credential information keyed-in by the user and sends it back to the server. The Keyboard­Interactive method is controlled by the SSH server.
Individual enabling and disabling of the Password and Keyboard-Interactive authentication methods are supported to allow an SSH client to be forced to use a specific method. Although both methods are available, by enabling the Keyboard­Interactive method and disabling the Password method, the SSH client is forced to used Key­board-Interactive, which is required to display the login banner.
Note! At least one authentication method must be enabled.
Select the Password checkbox and/or the Key-
board-Interactive checkbox and press Apply.
HTTP/SSL
The HTTP/SSL configuration page used to enable or disable HTTP and SSL support, configure the port number that the HTTP server watches and responds to, selection of the method of authenti­cation used and SSL access level.
Enabling or disabling HTTP or SSL support:

Changing the HTTP server port number:
In the HTTP Port field, enter the port number and press Apply.
Setting the HTTP authentication method:
The PDU HTTP server supports two authentica­tion methods for security and validation of the username-password: Basic and MD5 digest.
The Basic method uses Base64 encoding to en­code and deliver the username-password over the network to the HTTP server for decoding and authentication. This basic method is supported by all web browsers and offers a minimum level of security.
Note! The Base64 algorithm is widely known and susceptible to packet-sniffer attack for acquisition of the encoded user­name-password string.
The MD5 digest method provides stronger protec­tion utilizing one-way encoded hash numbers, never placing the username-password on the network. Instead, the sending browser creates a challenge code based on the hash algorithm, provided username-password and unique items such as the device IP address and timestamp, which is compared against the HTTP server inter­nal user database of valid challenge codes. The MD5 digest method offers a higher level of secu­rity than the Basic method but at present is not supported by all browsers.
Note! MD5 is known to be fully supported by Internet Explorer 5.0+
Select Basic or MD5 from the Authentication drop-down menu and press Apply.
Setting SSL access level:
PDU SSL supports configuration of SSL connec­tions as being either optional or required. The default access level is set to optional.

8.1 SSL
Secure Socket Layers (SSL) version 3 enables secure HTML sessions between a PDU Remote Power Manager and a remote user. SSL pro­vides two chief features designed to make TCP/IP (Internet) transmitted data more secure:
• Authentication – The connecting client is as­sured of the identity of the server.
• Encryption – All data transmitted between the client and the server is encrypted rendering any intercepted data unintelligible to any third party.
SSL uses the public-and-private key encryption system by RSA, which also requires the use of digital certificates. An SSL Certificate is an elec­tronic file uniquely identifying individuals or web­sites and enables encrypted communication; SSL Certificates serve as a kind of digital passport or credential. The PDU product’s SSL Certificate enables the client to verify the PDU’s authenticity and to communicate with the PDU securely via an encrypted session, protecting confidential infor­mation from interception and hacking.

8.2 SSH
Secure Shell (SSH) version 2 enables secure network terminal sessions between a PDU Re­mote Power Manager and a remote user over insecure network. SSH provides an encrypted terminal sessions with strong authentication of both the server and client, using public-key cryp­tography and is typically used as a replacement for unencrypted Telnet. In addition to enabling secure network terminal sessions to the PDU for configuration and power management, the SSH session may be used for secure Pass-Thru con­nections to attached devices.
SSH requires the configuration and use of a client agent on the client PC. There are many freeware, shareware or for-purchase SSH clients available. Two examples are the freeware client PuTTY and the for-purchase client SecureCRT by Van­Dyke Software. For configuration and use of these clients, please refer to the applicable soft­ware documentation.

8.3 SNMP/Thresholds
The PDU family of products supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This allows network management systems to use SNMP requests to retrieve information and control power for the individual outlets.
The PDU includes an SNMP v2c agent supporting standard MIB I and MIB II objects. A private en­terprise MIB extension (PDU3 MIB) is also sup­ported to provide remote power control.
Note! For security, SNMP support is disabled by default.

EN
All traps include the Location of the PDU as defined with the Set Location command.
Status trap
A Status trap is generated when an error condi­tion occurs on a tower, infeed, Environmental Monitor or individual sensor. Status traps include the reported Status, the Location of the PDU and identifier and name of the affected tower, infeed, outlet, environmental monitor or sensor.
Any error state generates a Status trap and trig­gers the trap timer. A new trap is generated at the end of every timer period until the Status returns to a non-error status. All status traps are enabled by default.
Tower Status traps
Status Error Description
Normal Tower is working correctly NoComm x Communication to the tower
has been lost
Infeed Status traps
Status Error Description
On Infeed is on OffError x Infeed should be on but no
current is sensed at the in­feed
NoComm x Communication to the infeed
has been lost
Outlet Status traps
Status Error Description
On Outlet is on Off Outlet is off OnWait Outlet Status in transition OffWait Outlet Status in transition OnError x Outlet should be off but
current is sensed at the out­let
OffError x Outlet should be on but no
current is sensed at the out­let
OffFuse x Outlet should be on but a
blown fuse has been de­tected
NoComm x Communication to the outlet
has been lost
Environmental Monitor Status traps
Status Error Description
Normal Environmental Monitor is
working correctly
NoComm x Communication to the Envi-
ronmental Monitor has been lost
Note! Traps are generated according to a hierarchical architecture, for example, if an Tower Status enters a trap condition, only the Tower Status trap will be gen­erated. Infeed, Outlet, Environmental Monitor or Sensor Status and Temp and Humid traps will be suppressed until the Tower Status returns to Normal.
Change trap
The Change trap is generated for all outlet status changes between any on/off conditions. Change traps include the outlet status, Location of the PDU, and identifier and name of the affected out­let. For descriptions of the outlet status types, please refer to the prior table.
Load Trap
The Load trap is generated whenever the total input load on an infeed exceeds a preset thresh­old. Load traps include the reported input load, load status, Location of the PDU, and identifier and name of the affected infeed.
Any error state generates a Load trap and triggers the trap timer. A new trap is generated at the end of every timer period until the Load returns to a non-error status.

8.4 LDAP
The Rittal PDU family of products supports Light­weight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Version
3. This support enables authentication with LDAP servers; user accounts do not need to be individu­ally created locally on each PDU device.
This allows administrators to pre-define and con­figure (in each PDU product, and in the LDAP server) a set of necessary LDAP Groups, and access rights for each. User’s access rights can then be assigned or revoked simply by making the user a member of one-or-more pre-defined PDU LDAP Groups. User accounts can be added, de­leted, or changed in the LDAP server without any changes needed on individual PDU products.
PDU LDAP support has been tested in the follow­ing environments:
• Microsoft Active Directory (MSAD)
• Novell eDirectory (eDir)
• OpenLDAP

Enabling and Setting up LDAP Support
There are a few configuration requirements for properly enabling and setting up LDAP support. Below is an overview of the minimum require­ments.
Directory Services server configuration require­ments:
1. Define at least one LDAP group.
2. Assign users to that LDAP group.
PDU configuration requirements:
1. Enable LDAP support.
2. Define the IP address and domain com­ponent of at least one Directory Services server.
3. Set the LDAP bind request method being utilized by the Directory Services server.
4. Define the IP address of at least one DNS server.
5. Test DNS server configuration using PDU ‘ping’ support.
6. Define at least one LDAP group and as­sign access rights for that group.
Note! LDAP group names on the Directory Service server and the PDU must match.
Enabling and disabling LDAP support:
The Set LDAP command is used to enable or disable LDAP support.
To enable or disable LDAP support:
At the Switched PDU: prompt, type set ldap, followed by enabled or disabled and press En-
ter.
Setting the LDAP host address:
The Set LDAP Host command sets the TCP/IP address of the Directory Services server.
Page 58
Advanced Operations 8
58
Switched Power Distribution Unit
EN
To set the LDAP host address:
At the Switched PDU: prompt, type set ldap, followed by host1 or host2 and the Directory Services server’s IP address or hostname. Press Enter.
Examples
The following command sets the primary Direc­tory Services server IP address to 98.76.54.32:
Switched PDU: set ldap host1
98.76.54.32<Enter>
The following command sets the secondary Direc­tory Services server hostname to ldap.rittal.com:
Switched PDU: set ldap host2 ldap.rittal.com<Enter>
Changing the LDAP server port:
The Set LDAP Port command sets the port to which the PDU sends LDAP requests to on the previously defined LDAP server. The default port is 389.
To change the LDAP server port:
At the Switched PDU: prompt, type set ldap port, followed by the port number and press Enter.
Example
The following command sets the LDAP server port number to 8888:
Switched PDU: set ldap port 8888<Enter>
Enabling and disabling LDAP over TLS/SSL support:
The Set LDAP UseTLS command is used to en­able or disable LDAP over TLS/SSL support.
To enable or disable LDAP over TLS/SSL support:
At the Switched PDU: prompt, type set ldap usetls, followed by yes or no and press Enter.
Note!
If LDAP Over TLS/SSL is enabled, MD5 binding is disabled.
Setting the LDAP bind password type:
The Set LDAP Bind command sets the password type used in the bind requests. The PDU sup­ports two LDAP bind methods – Simple and MD5.
The Simple method uses unencrypted delivery of a username-password over the network to the Active Directory server for authentication.
The MD5 digest method provides much stronger protection utilizing one-way encoded hash num­bers, never placing the username-password on the network.
Note! Windows 2000 is known only to support Simple binding. Windows 2003 sup­ports both Simple and MD5 binding.
To set the bind password type:
At the Switched PDU: prompt, type set ldap bind, followed by simple or md5 and press Enter.
Note! If MD5 binding is enabled, LDAP over TLS/SSL is disabled.
Setting the search bind Distinguished Name (DN):
The Set LDAP BindDN command is used to set the fully-qualified distinguished name (FQDN) for user accounts to bind with. This is required for directory services that do not support anonymous binds. This field is used ONLY with Simple Binds. Maximum string length is 124 characters.
Note! If left blank, then an anonymous bind will be attempted. This field is used ONLY with Simple binds.
To set the search bind DN:
At the Switched PDU: prompt, type set ldap binddn, and press Enter. At the following prompt, type the FQDN and press Enter.
Example
The following sets the FQDN for MSAD to ‘cn=guest,cn=Users,dc=rittal,dc=com’:
Switched PDU: set ldap binddn<Enter> Enter Search Bind DN (Max characters 124): cn=guest,cn=Users,dc=rittal,dc=com<Enter>
Setting the search bind Distinguished Name (DN) password:
The Set LDAP BindPW command is used to set the password for the user account specified in the
Page 59
Advanced Operations 8
Switched Power Distribution Unit
59
EN
Search Bind DN. Maximum password size is 20 characters.
To set the Bind Password DN:
At the Switched PDU: prompt, type set ldap bindpw and press Enter. At the following prompt, type the bind password and press Enter.
Setting the group membership attribute:
The Set LDAP GroupAttr command is used to specify the name of user class attributes that lists distinguished names (DN), or names of groups that a user is a member of. Maximum string length is 30 characters.
To set Group Membership Attribute:
At the Switched PDU: prompt, type set ldap groupattr and press Enter. At the following
prompt, type the group membership attribute and press Enter.
Example
The following sets the group membership attribute for MSAD to ‘memberof’:
Switched PDU: set ldap groupattr<Enter> Enter Group Member Attr (Max character 30): memberof<Enter>
Setting the group membership value type:
The Set LDAP GroupType command is used to specify whether the values of Group Membership Attribute represent the Distinguished Name (DN) of a group or just the name of the group.
To set group membership value type:
At the Switched PDU: prompt, type set ldap grouptype followed by DN or Name and press Enter.
Example
The following sets group membership value to DN
Switched PDU: set ldap grouptype DN<Enter>
Setting the user search base Distinguished Name (DN):
The Set LDAP UserBaseDN command is used to set the base (DN) for the login username search. This is where the search will start, and will include all subtrees. Maximum size is 100 characters.
To set the user search base DN:
At the Switched PDU: prompt, type set ldap userbasedn and press Enter. At the following prompt, type the search base DN and press En­ter.
Example
The following sets the DN user search base for MSAD to ‘cn=Users,dc=rittal,dc=com’:
Switched PDU: set ldap userbasedn<Enter> Enter User Search Base DN (Max characters
100): cn=Users,dc=rittal,dc=com<Enter>
Setting the user search filter:
The Set LDAP UserFilter command is used to set the search filter for the username entered at the login prompt.
The search filter must be entered within paren­thesis and adhere to the following format:
(searchfilter=%s) where ‘searchfilter’ is the name of the attribute in
the user class which has a value that represents the user’s login name. In this string, the ‘%s’ will be replaced by the entered username. Maximum string length is 100 characters.
To set the user search filter:
At the Switched PDU: prompt, type set ldap userfilter and press Enter. At the following
prompt, type the User Search Filter and press Enter.
Example
The following sets the user search filter for MSAD to ‘samaccountname’:
Switched PDU: set ldap userfilter<Enter> Enter User Search Filter (Max characters 100): (samaccountname=%s)<Enter>
Setting the authentication order:
The Set Authorder command sets the authentica­tion order for remote authentication sessions. The PDU supports two methods for authentication order - Remote -> Local and Remote Only.
The Remote -> Local method first attempts au­thentication with the Active Directory server and if unsuccessful with the local user database on the PDU device.
The Remote Only method attempts authentication only with the Active Directory server and if unsuc­cessful, access is denied.
Page 60
Advanced Operations 8
60
Switched Power Distribution Unit
EN
Note!
With the Remote Only method, if au­thentication fails due to a communica­tion failure with the Active Directory server automatic authentication fallback will occur to authenticate with the local user data base on the PDU device.
To set the authentication order:
At the Switched PDU: prompt, type set author­der, followed by remotelocal or remoteonly and press Enter.
Note!
Rittal recommends NOT setting the au­thentication order to Remote Only until the LDAP has been fully configured and tested.
Displaying LDAP configuration information:
The Show LDAP command displays LDAP con­figuration information.
• Enabled-disabled status of LDAP support
• Directory Services server IP address and port
• Bind request password type and remote au-
thentication order
• Search bind distinguished name and password

8.5 TACACS+
The PDU family of products supports the Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TA­CACS+) protocol. This enables authentication and authorization with a central TACACS+ server; user accounts do not need to be individually cre­ated locally on each PDU device.
This allows administrators to pre-define and con­figure (in each PDU product, and in the TACACS+ server) a set of necessary TACACS+ privilege levels, and users access rights for each. User’s access rights can then be assigned or revoked simply by making the user a member of one-or­more pre-defined PDU TACACS+ privilege levels. User account rights can be added, deleted, or changed within TACACS+ without any changes needed on individual PDU products.
The PDU supports 16 different TACACS+ privilege levels; 15 are entirely configurable by the system administrator (1 is reserved for default Admin level access to all PDU resources).

Enabling and Setting up TACACS+ Support
There are a few configuration requirements for properly enabling and setting up TACACS+ sup­port. Below is an overview of the minimum re­quirements:
1. Enable TACACS+ support.
2. Define the IP address and domain com­ponent of at least one TACACS+server.
3. Set the TACACS+ key configured on the supporting TACACS+server.
Enabling and disabling TACACS+ support:
The Set TACACS command is used to enable or disable TACACS+ support.
Page 66
Advanced Operations 8
66
Switched Power Distribution Unit
EN
To enable or disable TACACS+ support:
At the Switched PDU: prompt, type set tacacs, followed by enabled or disabled and press En-
ter.
Setting the TACACS+ server address:
The Set TACACS Host command sets the IP address or hostname of the TACACS+ server.
To set the TACACS+ server address:
At the Switched PDU: prompt, type set tacacs, followed by host1 or host2 and the TACACS+ server’s IP address or hostname. Press Enter.
Examples
The following command sets the primary TA­CACS+ server address to 98.76.54.32:
Switched PDU: set tacacs host1
98.76.54.32<Enter>
The following command sets the secondary TA­CACS+ server address to tacacs.rittal.com:
Switched PDU: set tacacs host2 ta­cacs.rittal.com<Enter>
Setting the TACACS+ encryption key:
The Set TACACS Key command sets the encryp­tion key used to encrypt all data packets between the PDU and the TACACS+ server. This key must match the key configured on the TACACS+ server.
To set the encryption key:
At the Switched PDU: prompt, type set tacacs key and press Enter.
At the TACACS+ Key: prompt, type an encryption key of up to 60 alphanumeric and other typeable characters - (ASCII 33 to 126 decimal) are al­lowed; encryption keys are case sensitive. Press Enter. To specify no password, press Enter.
At the Verify TACACS+ Key: prompt, retype the key. Press Enter. To verify no password, press Enter at the prompt.
Example
Switched PDU: set tacacs key<Enter> TACACS+ Key: <Enter> Verify TACACS+ Key: <Enter>
For security, key characters are not displayed.
Note! A key size of zero results in no encryp­tion being applied which may not be supported by the TACACS+ server and is not recommended for a production environment.
Changing the TACACS port:
With TACACS support enabled, the PDU sends TACACS requests to the default TACACS port number 49. This port number may be changed using the Set TACACS Port command.
To change the TACACS port:
At the Switched PDU: prompt, type set tacacs port, followed by the port number and press Enter.
Example
The following changes the TACACS port number to 50:
Switched PDU: set tacacs port 50<Enter>
Setting the authentication order:
The Set Authorder command sets the authentica­tion order for remote authentication sessions. The PDU supports two methods for authentication order - Remote -> Local and Remote Only.
The Remote -> Local method first attempts au­thentication with the TACACS+ server and if un­successful with the local user database on the PDU device.
The Remote Only method attempts authentication only with the TACACS+ server and if unsuccess­ful, access is denied.
Note! With the Remote Only method, if au­thentication fails due to a communica­tion failure with the TACACS+ server automatic authentication fallback will occur to authenticate with the local user data base on the PDU device.
To set the authentication order:
At the Switched PDU: prompt, type set author­der, followed by remotelocal or remoteonly and press Enter.

FTP Configuration Files
The PDU FTP server supports upload/download of two configuration files: CONFIG.BIN and NET­WORK.INI. These files may be uploaded or downloaded using FTP PUT and GET operations.
• CONFIG.BIN This file contains the entire con­figuration of the PDU excluding TCP/IP set­tings, serial/factory-only configurations, the x.509 certificate (SSL) and SSH keys. This file in encoded to keep all data (including user­names, passwords etc.) out of plain view. This file is NOT editable.
• FTP.INI This file contains only the FTP settings (FTP Host, username, password, filepath, filename and automatic updates sup­port). This file is user readable and editable ‘plain text’ file.
• NETWORK.INI This file contains only the TCP/IP settings (IP address, subnet mask, gateway, DNS1 and DNS2). This file is user readable and editable ‘plain text’ file.
• SNTP.INI This file contains only the SNTP settings (SNTP Hosts and GMT offset). This file is user readable and editable ‘plain text’ file.
Note! The CONFIG.BIN file while encoded is not encrypted and susceptible to decod­ing using simple tools. Rittal recommends the secure storage of CONFIG.BIN backup images.

9.1 Resetting to Factory Defaults
You may reset the non-volatile RAM that stores all configurable options. This clears all adminis­trator-editable fields and resets all command line configurable options to their default values, in­cluding all user accounts.
You may reset the unit to factory defaults from the command line or the HTML interface, or by press­ing the reset button. You must have administra­tor-level privileges to issue the command. Using the reset button may be necessary when a forgot­ten password prevents administrator login. Each of the methods updates the current working con­figuration to the factory defaults.
To reset to factory defaults
Note!
