Sentry Smart Cabinet Distribution Unit
Installation and Operations Manual
Setting the HTTP authentication method:
The Sentry HTTP server supports two authentication methods for security and validation of the username-password – Basic and MD5 digest.
The Basic method utilizes Base64 encoding to encode and deliver the username-password over the network to the HTTP server for decoding and authentication. This basic method is supported by all web browsers and offers a minimum level of security.
NOTE: The Base64 algorithm is widely-known and susceptible to packet-sniffer attack for acquisition of the encoded username-password string.
The MD5 digest method provides stronger protection utilizing one-way encoded hash numbers, never placing the username-password on the network. Instead, the sending browser creates a challenge code based on the hash algorithm, provided username-password and unique items such as the device IP address and timestamp, which is compared against the HTTP server internal user database of valid challenge codes. The MD5 digest method offers a higher level of security than the Basic method but at present is not supported by all browsers.
NOTE: MD5 is known to be fully supported by Internet Explorer 5.0+
Select Basic or MD5 from the Authentication drop-down menu and press Apply.
Setting SSL access level
Sentry SSL supports configuration of SSL connections as being either optional or required. The default access level is set to optional.

19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200 BPS) - 8 data bits-no parity-one stop bit and Device Ready output signal (DTR or DSR).
To log in by RS-232 or Telnet:
1. Press Enter. The following appears, where x.xx is the firmware version:
Sentry Version x.xx
Username:
NOTE: Logging in by Telnet will automatically open a session. It is not necessary to press Enter.
2. At the Username: and Password: prompts, enter a valid username and password. And press Enter.
You are given three attempts to enter a valid username and password combination. If all three fail, the session ends.
NOTE: The default Sentry username/password is admn/admn.
When you enter a valid username and password, the command prompt (Smart CDU:) appears. If a
location identifier was defined, it will be displayed before the Smart CDU: prompt. See Creating a
on page 24 for more information.
You may enter commands in any combination of uppercase and lowercase. You must enter all command characters correctly; there are no command abbreviations. There are two types of commands: operations and administration. A user must have administrative privileges to use the administration commands.

SSL
Secure Socket Layers (SSL) version 3 enables secure HTML sessions between a Sentry Remote Power
Manager and a remote user. SSL provides two chief features designed to make TCP/IP (Internet) transmitted data more secure:
• Authentication – The connecting client is assured of the identity of the server.
• Encryption – All data transmitted between the client and the server is encrypted rendering any intercepted data unintelligible to any third party.
SSL uses the public-and-private key encryption system by RSA, which also requires the use of digital certificates. An SSL Certificate is an electronic file uniquely identifying individuals or websites and enables encrypted communication; SSL Certificates serve as a kind of digital passport or credential.
The Sentry product’s SSL Certificate enables the client to verify the Sentry’s authenticity and to communicate with the Sentry securely via an encrypted session, protecting confidential information from interception and hacking.

SSH
Secure Shell (SSH) version 2 enables secure network terminal sessions between a Sentry Remote
Power Manager and a remote user over insecure network. SSH provides encrypted terminal sessions with strong authentication of both the server and client, using public-key cryptography and is typically used as a replacement for unencrypted Telnet. In addition to enabling secure network terminal sessions to the Sentry for configuration and power management, the SSH session may be used for secure Pass-
Thru connections to attached devices.
SSH requires the configuration and use of a client agent on the client PC. There are many freeware, shareware or for-purchase SSH clients available. Two examples are the freeware client PuTTY and the for-purchase client SecureCRT
® by VanDyke® Software. For configuration and use of these clients, please refer to the applicable software documentation.

All traps include the Location of the Sentry as defined with the Set Location command.
Status trap
A Status trap is generated when an error condition occurs on a tower, infeed, Environmental Monitor or individual sensor. Status traps include the reported Status, the Location of the Sentry and identifier and name of the affected tower, infeed, outlet, environmental monitor or sensor.
Any error state generates a Status trap and triggers the trap timer. A new trap is generated at the end of every timer period until the Status returns to a non-error status. All status traps are enabled by default.

Tower Status trap will be generated. Infeed, Environmental Monitor or Sensor Status and Temp and Humid traps will be suppressed until the Tower Status returns to Normal.
Load Trap
The Load trap is generated whenever the total input load on an infeed exceeds a preset threshold. Load traps include the reported input load, load status, Location of the Sentry, and identifier and name of the affected infeed.
Any error state generates a Load trap and triggers the trap timer. A new trap is generated at the end of every timer period until the Load returns to a non-error status.

LDAP
The Sentry family of products supports Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Version 3. This support enables authentication with Active Directory, a network Directory Service; user accounts do not need to be individually created locally on each Sentry device.
This allows administrators to pre-define and configure (in each Sentry 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 Sentry LDAP
Groups. User accounts can be added, deleted, or changed in the LDAP server without any changes needed on individual Sentry products.
Sentry 5.3b LDAP support has been tested in the following environments:
• Microsoft Active Directory (MSAD)
• Novell eDirectory (eDir)
• OpenLDAP

Enabling and Setting up LDAP Support
There are a few configuration requirements for properly enabling and setting up LDAP support. Below is an overview of the minimum requirements.
Directory Services server configuration requirements:
1. Define at least one LDAP group.
2. Assign users to that LDAP group.
Sentry configuration requirements:
1. Enable LDAP support.
2. Define the IP address and domain component of at least one Directory Services server.
3. Set the LDAP bind request method being utilized by the Directory Services server.
4. Define the IP address of at least one DNS server.
5. Test DNS server configuration using Sentry ‘ping’ support.
6. Define at least one LDAP group and assign access rights for that group.
NOTE: LDAP group names on the Directory Service server and the Sentry must match.
Enabling and disabling LDAP support
The Set LDAP command is used to enable or disable LDAP support.
To enable or disable LDAP support:
At the Smart CDU: prompt, type set ldap, followed by enabled or disabled and press Enter.
Setting the LDAP host IP address
The Set LDAP HostIP command sets the TCP/IP address of the Directory Services server.
To set the LDAP host IP address:
At the Smart CDU: prompt, type set ldap, followed by hostip1 or hostip2 and the Directory Services server’s IP address. Press Enter.
Example
The following command sets the primary Directory Services server IP address to 98.76.54.32:
Smart CDU: set ldap hostip1 98.76.54.32<Enter>

The Simple method utilizes unencrypted delivery of a username-password over the network to the
Active Directory server for authentication.
The MD5 digest method provides much stronger protection utilizing one-way encoded hash numbers,
never placing the username-password on the network. For more information on MD5, see Setting the
HTTP authentication method: on page 11.
NOTE: Windows 2000 is known only to support Simple binding. Windows 2003 supports both Simple and MD5 binding.
To set the bind password type:

Setting the authentication order
The Set Authorder command sets the authentication order for remote authentication sessions. The
Sentry 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 Sentry device.
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 Sentry device.
To set the authentication order:
At the Smart 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.

(TACACS+) protocol. This enables authentication and authorization with a central TACACS+ server; user accounts do not need to be individually created locally on each Sentry device.
This allows administrators to pre-define and configure (in each Sentry product, and in the TACACS+ server) a set of necessary TACACS+ privilege levels, and user’s 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
Sentry TACACS+ privilege levels. User account rights can be added, deleted, or changed within
TACACS+ without any changes needed on individual Sentry products.
The Sentry supports 16 different TACACS+ privilege levels; 15 are entirely configurable by the system administrator (1 is reserved for default Admin level access to all Sentry resources).

Enabling and Setting up TACACS+ Support
There are a few configuration requirements for properly enabling and setting up TACACS+ support.
Below is an overview of the minimum requirements:
1. Enable TACACS+ support.
2. Define the IP address and domain component of at least one TACACS+ server.
3. Set the TACACS+ key configured on the supporting TACACS+ server.
Enabling and disabling TACACS+ support
The Set TACACS command is used to enable or disable TACACS+ support.
To enable or disable TACACS+ support:
At the Smart CDU: prompt, type set tacacs, followed by enabled or disabled and press Enter.
Setting the TACACS+ server IP address
The Set TACACS HostIP command sets the TCP/IP address of the TACACS+ server.
To set the TACACS+ server IP address:
At the Smart CDU: prompt, type set tacacs, followed by hostip1 or hostip2 and the TACACS+ server’s IP address. Press Enter.
Example
The following command sets the primary TACACS+ server IP address to 98.76.54.32:

Setting the TACACS+ encryption key
The Set TACACS Key command sets the encryption key used to encrypt all data packets between the
Sentry and the TACACS+ server. This key must match the key configured on the TACACS+ server.
To set the encryption key:
At the Smart CDU: prompt, type set tacacs key and press Enter.
At the TACACS+ Key: prompt, type a key of up to 60 alphanumeric and other typeable characters
(ASCII 32 to 126 decimal). Keys are case sensitive. Press Enter. To specify no password, press Enter at the prompt.
At the Verify TACACS+ Key: prompt, retype the key. Press Enter. To verify no password, press
Enter at the prompt.
Example
Smart CDU: set tacacs key<Enter>
TACACS+ Key: <Enter>
Verify TACACS+ Key: <Enter>
For security, key characters are not displayed.
NOTE: A key size of zero results in no encryption being applied which may not be supported by the TACACS+ server and is not recommended for a production environment.
Setting the authentication order
The Set Authorder command sets the authentication order for remote authentication sessions. The
Sentry supports two methods for authentication order - Remote -> Local and Remote Only.
The Remote -> Local method first attempts authentication with the TACACS+ server and if unsuccessful with the local user database on the Sentry device.
The Remote Only method attempts authentication only with the TACACS+ server and if unsuccessful, access is denied.
NOTE: With the Remote Only method, if authentication fails due to a communication failure with the TACACS+ server automatic authentication fallback will occur to authenticate with the local user data base on the Sentry device.
To set the authentication order:
At the Smart 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 TACACS+ has been fully configured and tested.
Displaying TACACS+ configuration information
The Show TACACS command displays TACACS+ configuration information.
• Remote authentication order
• Enabled-disabled status of LDAP support
• Directory Services server IP address and domain components
• Bind request password type
To display the LDAP configuration information:
At the Smart CDU: prompt, type show ldap and press Enter.
Example
The following command displays the LDAP configuration information:
TACACS+ Configuration
TACACS+: Disabled
Host IP1: 98.76.54.32
Host IP2: 0.0.0.0
TACACS+ Key: (Set)
Auth Order: Remote->Local
