Netbotz 750 remote authentication

[mikeely]

Hi,

We're upgrading our NBRK250 to a 750 model, and I'm unable to find RADIUS/LDAP config on the new device, which we rely upon with our 250. Can someone please show where this feature is hidden on the 750?

Hello,

it is not hidden....does not exist at all

ldap is supported only for rack access in combination with access cards but not for auth against netbotz interface

Whoah, seriously??? We went from the lower-end 250 up to the higher-end 750 and lost authentication capability? Why the step in the wrong direction?

I cannot express strongly enough how much I don't look forward to having to explain this rather stunning fail on the part of APC to management. There will be some amount of irritation and if I'm lucky I won't get sent in to pull the active unit, put it in a box with the spare, and return for refund. Not even kidding.

I find this to be pretty shocking, as well.  Is adding this capability on the roadmap for this device?  We just purchased one and I can't believe there is no option for remote authentication on it.  UPS NMCs, smart PDUs, etc. are capable of this, why not a device that's geared toward monitoring and securing datacenter equipment?  Is there another model that does offer this capability?
