Security
Access to the web interface on the ENVIROMUX can be through standard methods (enable HTTP access- page 62) or limited to
secure access only (disable HTTP access and only allow HTTPS access which is always enabled by default). Security in the
ENVIROMUX can be managed one of two ways; through the local settings (passwords assigned in user settings on page 67) or
through an LDAP server. If security is configured to use LDAP mode, then the passwords for users must be those found on a
configured LDAP server. To view the Security Configuration page, select Security in the Administration section of the menu.
Figure 77- Security Configuration page
When in LDAP mode, usernames on the LDAP server must match those in the user settings of the ENVIROMUX or access will be
denied.
Note: When in LDAP mode, if the LDAP server is not responding, local authentication will be tried.
User Authentication
Mode Select Local to use authentication based on passwords in the ENVIROMUX user configuration
Select LDAP to use authentication based on passwords in an LDAP server
Select “Certificate+Login” when authentication requires the connecting PC to hold a valid
certificate
LDAP Primary Server Enter Hostname or IP address of Primary LDAP Server
LDAP Secondary Server Enter Hostname or IP address of Secondary LDAP Server (optional)
LDAP Server Type Choose from drop down list:
Generic LDAP server
Novell Directory server

Even though LDAP authentication is being used, each user must also have a local account. User permission level is established
by the local account.
