5.9.8.1. Adding LDAP Groups
Once you have defined several users and passwords via your LDAP server, and
assigned those users to LDAP Groups, you must then grant command and port access
rights to each LDAP Group at each individual RSM-8R unit.
To add LDAP groups to your RSM-8R unit, log in to the command mode using a
password that permits access to Administrator level commands. The Add LDAP Group
menu allows the following parameters 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, please refer to Section 5.4.1.
(Default = User.)
•
Port Access:
This item is used to select the serial ports that members of this LDAP
group will be allowed to connect. (Default = All Ports Off.)
Note:
The Port Access parameter is also used to grant or deny user access to
the internal modem port. On RSM-8R units, port 9 is the internal modem port.
•
Plug Access:
This item is used to determine which plugs members of this group
will be allowed to control. (Default = All Plugs Off.)
•
Plug Group Access:
This item is used to determine which plug groups the
members of this LDAP Group will be allowed to control. (Default = undefined.)
•
Service Access:
This item determines how members of this LDAP Group will be
allowed to access command mode and whether or not they will be able to create
outbound Telnet connections. The Service Access parameter is used to allow
members of this LDAP group to access command mode via Serial Port, Telnet/SSH
or any combination thereof, and also enables/disables Outbound Telnet.
(Default; Serial Port = On, Telnet/SSH = On, Outbound Access = Off.)
Note:
After you have finished defining LDAP Group parameters, make certain
to save the 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 RSM-8R displays the "Saving Configuration"
message.
5.9.8.2 Viewing LDAP Groups
If you want to examine an existing LDAP group definition, the "View LDAP Groups"
function can be used to review the group's parameters and Plug Access Settings.
