APC AP7900 Manual Do Utilizador

As soon as you complete the installation and initial configuration of the 
Rack PDU, immediately change the default user names and passwords. 
Configuring unique user names and passwords is essential to establish 
basic security for your system.

Available methods:
• User name and password
• Selectable server port
• Server Enable/Disable
• Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 

and Transport Layer 
Security (TLS)

In basic HTTP authentication mode, the user name and 
password are transmitted base-64 encoded (with no 
encryption).

SSL and TLS are available on Web browsers supported 
for the Switched Rack PDU and on most Web servers. 
The Web protocol Hypertext Transfer Protocol over 
Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS) encrypts and decrypts 
page requests to the Web server and pages returned by 
the Web server to the user.

Available methods:
• Centralized authentication 

of access rights

• A server secret shared 

between the RADIUS 
server and the Rack PDU

RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) is 
an authentication, authorization and accounting service 
used to centrally administer remote access for each 
Rack PDU.
