Security
Access to the web interface on the ENVIROMUX can be through standard methods (enable HTTP access- page 76) 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 three ways; through the local settings (passwords assigned in user settings on page 84),
through an LDAP server or through a RADIUS server. If security is configured to use LDAP mode, then the names for users must
be the same as those found on a configured LDAP server. To view the Security Configuration page, select Security in the
Administration section of the menu.
Figure 100- 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.
Passwords for users can be different between the LDAP server and those in the ENVIROMUX configuration, so when in LDAP
mode, make sure the LDAP password is the one being entered or access to the ENVIROMUX will be denied.
Note: When in LDAP mode, if the LDAP server is not responding, local authentication will be tried. If a mistake is made
in the LDAP configuration and access to the ENVIROMUX is being denied, to return to local user setting control,
disconnect the ENVIROMUX from the network and connect a PC to the ENVIROMUX ETHERNET port directly. Once the
ENVIROMUX can no longer see the LDAP server the user will be able to login with a local account.
