Operation Concepts
This section provides information describing the following ePDU operation concept:
l
User login and access policy
For more information, see “Access Privileges” on page 99.
User Login and Access Policy
The web interface is protected by a login and a password. The ePDU Network Management and Control
(eNMC) module manages up to eight users and one Administrator.
A user is defined by:
l
Name identifier (login)
l
Password (minimum of five characters)
l
Assigned access rights (Read Only, Read/Write, Read/Write/Control, No Access)
l
List of groups of outlets to which the user has access
NOTE At a minimum, users need Read-Only access rights to access the Web pages.
When a user accesses the Web interface, the system prompts for a login and password. The login and
password for the administrator and for each user are hashed using a one-way hash algorithm. If the login and
password match and the assigned user rights do not restrict access, the user can access the Web interface.
!
IMPORTANT
Users should always terminate sessions by clicking the logout link in the top right-hand corner of
the Web interface page.
