116 Advanced Operations Switched PDU
Installation and Operations Manual
LDAP
The Switched 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 device.
This allows administrators to pre-define and configure (in each 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 LDAP Groups on the PDU. User accounts can be added, deleted, or
changed in the LDAP server without any changes needed on individual PDU products.
LDAP support has been tested in the following environments:
Microsoft Active Directory (MSAD)
Novell eDirectory (eDir)
OpenLDAP
