Switched PDU
Installation and Operations Manual
Setting the authentication order:
The Set Authorder command sets the authentication order for remote authentication sessions. The PDU supports two
methods for authentication order: Remote > Local and Remote Only.
The Remote > Local method first attempts authentication with the Active Directory server and if unsuccessful with
the local user database on the PDU.
The Remote Only method attempts authentication only with the Active Directory server and if unsuccessful, access is
denied.
NOTE: With the Remote Only method, if authentication fails due to a communication failure with the Active Directory server automatic
authentication fallback will occur to authenticate with the local user data base on the unit.
To set the authentication order:
At the Switched CDU: prompt, type set authorder, followed by remotelocal or remoteonly and press Enter.
NOTE: Server Technology recommends not setting the authentication order to Remote Only until the LDAP has been fully configured and
tested.
