Chapter 5: User Profiles and Groups
This chapter explains how to create and manage user profiles and user groups.
Managing User Profiles
User profiles serve two purposes:
•
•
To provide users with a username and password to log into the DSX
To associate the user with a user group. The user group determines which system
functions and ports the user can access.
The DSX is shipped with one user profile built in. This is the admin user. This profile is
associated with the Admin user group, and has full system and port permissions. This profile
cannot be modified or deleted.
You can create as many other user profiles as necessary. You can create individual user profiles
for each person who will be logging into the DSX, or you can create a limited number of profiles
and allow more than one person to use each profile.
Display a List of User Profiles
1. To display a list of existing user profiles, click the User Management tab, and then click
Figure 18 User List Screen

CHAPTER 6: REMOTE AUTHENTICATION
27
Chapter 6: Remote Authentication
This chapter explains how to configure RADIUS, LDAP, and TACACS+ authentication.
Tip: If you are setting up remote authentication, it is a good idea to still keep local
authentication enabled. When an authentication request reaches the DSX, it looks to
authenticate the user remotely first, and then looks to authenticate the user locally.
Keeping local authentication enabled ensures that if remote authentication is
misconfigured or otherwise unavailable, you are not locked out or the DSX because you
can always be authenticated locally.
Configuring RADIUS
You can use Remote Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) to authenticate DSX users instead of local
authentication. To configure RADIUS:
1. Click the Setup tab, and then click Remote Authentication. The Remote Authentication
screen appears. It contains a RADIUS panel.
Figure 22 RADIUS Panel
2. In the RADIUS panel, click the RADIUS button to enable RADIUS authentication.
3. Under Primary Radius, type the following information:
•
•
•
IP address of the RADIUS server
Port the RADIUS server is listening on (default is 1812)
Shared secret
4. If you have a backup RADIUS server, enter the same information in the Secondary Radius
fields.
5. Click OK. RADIUS authentication is enabled.

DOMINION SX USER GUIDE
Configuring LDAP
You can use the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) to authenticate DSX users
instead of local authentication. To configure LDAP:
1. Click the Setup tab, and then click Remote Authentication. The Remote Authentication
screen appears. It contains an LDAP panel.
Figure 23 LDAP Panel
2. In the LDAP panel, click the LDAP button to enable LDAP authentication.
3. Under Primary LDAP, type the IP address of the LDAP server and the port it is listening on
(default is 389) in the IP Address and Port fields.
4. Type the root password to access the directory server/manager in the Secret field. The name
for this field depends on the Directory Server. For example, Microsoft Windows Active
Directory refers to the field as Password, while the SUN iPlanet directory server uses Secret.
5. Type the 'root' point to bind to the server in the Base DN field. This is the same as Directory
Manager DN (for example, BaseDn: cn=Directory Manager).
6. Type a string in the Query field. Make sure the same string is added as an attribute in the
Search field. For example, if the authorization query string is DominionSX, an attribute
named DominionSX must be added under the given domain specified by the Search field. On
top of that, a user group must have been created in DSX to map with the one in Windows
Active Directory for these configurations to work correctly.
7. Type the domain name where the search starts in the Search field. The Search field is the
sub-tree of the Base DN to direct the search to the path of the user information such as UID
and speed up search time.
In other words, it is the domain name. This is where the search starts for the user name. The
user name is created in this domain (for example, Search: dc=raritan, dc=com) to process
LDAP authentication queries from Dominion SX.

8. If you are using a modem to connect to the LDAP server, type a dialback string in the
Dialback Query String field.
9. If you have a backup LDAP server, enter the same information in the Secondary LDAP
fields.
10. Click OK. LDAP authentication is enabled.
Configuring TACACS+
You can use the Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System Plus (TACACS+) to
authenticate DSX users instead of local authentication. To configure TACACS+:
1. Click the Setup tab, and then click Remote Authentication. The Remote Authentication
screen appears. It contains a TACACS+ panel.
Figure 24 TACACS+ Panel
2. In the TACACS+ panel, click the TACACS+ button to enable TACACS+ authentication.
3. Under Primary TACACS+, type the IP address of the TACACS+ server and the port it is
listening on (default is 49) in the IP Address and Port fields.
4. Type the root password to access the directory server/manager in the Secret field. The name
for this field depends on the Directory Server. For example, Microsoft Windows Active
Directory refers to the field as Password, while the SUN iPlanet directory server uses Secret.
5. If you have a backup TACACS+ server, enter the same information in the Secondary
TACACS+ fields.
6. Click OK. TACACS+ authentication is enabled.

Application
Port configuration allows Administrators to define the serial/console port settings in order to
communicate with remote target devices.
Note: You can access the Raritan Serial Console (RSC) from the Port screen. See the
Raritan Serial Console section of this chapter for RSC information.
Port Keywords
You can create port keywords and associate them with:
•
•
•
Events
Local/remote syslog messages
SNMP traps.
Port keywords work as a filter. If a keyword is detected, then and only then will a corresponding
message be logged in a local/NFS port log. A corresponding event will be sent via SMTP (if
configured) and corresponding trap will be sent via SNMP (if configured).
This is very useful for local/remote NFS logging, as it logs just the information you need and no
junk messages, thus providing ease of traceability.
Note: The SMTP notification (event.amp.keyword) is selected from the Event configuration
page.
1. Click the Setup tab, and then click Port Keywords. The Port Keywords screen appears.

Raritan Serial Client Requirements for Java
The Raritan Serial Client (RSC) requires a minimum 1 GHz PC with 512 MB RAM. Java must
be installed to access targets (managed devices) before you can use the RSC.
Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
The RSC will function with JRE version 1.4.2_05 or later (except for JRE version 1.5.0_02) .
However, for optimum performance, Raritan recommends using JRE 1.5.0 (except, of course for
1.5.0_02).
Depending on your operating system and browser, it is possible that you need to adjust some JRE
configurations to prevent problems with the system’s memory.
Note: Raritan does not support JRE version 1.5.0_02 for use with the RSC.
JRE provides configuration instructions with the JRE download. Determine the JRE version on
your system by going to the Java Web page at:
IMPORTANT: When launching RSC from a browser, Raritan highly recommends that
Java Applet Caching be disabled and that you perform the following steps to make sure
that Java does not create problems for the system’s memory.
Java Applets and Memory Considerations
Usually, a browser based RSC does not need to make any changes to the Runtime parameters for
Java Applets. Do the following if you notice any “Out of Memory” errors happening when
executing RSC via a web browser:
•
•
Change the Runtime settings for Java Applets.
Use the following links to find out how to use Runtime settings in the Java Control
Panel.
To increase the heap settings so that more RSC applets can be launched to access multiple
Dominion SX targets:
1. Launch the Java Control Panel, which is located in the:
•
•
Advanced Tab in JRE 1.4.x
Java Tab in JRE 1.5
2. Locate Java Runtime Settings.

set your PATH variable.
To set path for bash shell:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/java/j2re1.4.2_05/bin.
To set path for tcsh or csh:
set PATH = ($PATH /usr/local/java/j2re1.4.2_05/bin).
These commands can either be typed at the terminal each time you log in, or you can add
them to your .bashrc for bash shell or .cshrc for csh or tcsh so that each time you log in,
the PATH is already set. See your shell documentation if you encounter problems.

Security Profiles
The DSX provides three security profiles that you can use. They simplify the assigning of
permissions to users and groups by defining basic permissions that automatically apply to all
users.
About Security Profiles
The three security profiles are:
•
•
•
Standard ─ Custom defaults
Secure ─ All functions in Custom are checked
Custom ─ Can be configured by a user
If you enable the Standard or Secure profiles, you cannot enable/disable manually any of the
features they include. You have to disable the profile in order to make those changes.
If a profile is disabled, the features in the profile keep the states they had when the profile was
enabled. For example, if the default TLS Required feature is unchecked, and you enable the
Secure profile, this feature becomes checked. When you disable the Secure profile, the TLS
Required feature remains checked.

4. Click OK.
Enable Port Logging
You need to configure port logging after you have enabled NFS logging (see “Configuring NFS
Logging” below).
This feature enables port data to be logged to a Network File System (NFS) server. This allows
you to save and access the log files over a network.
NFS supports file sharing, which means you can store the files on the network that you want other
people to access, while keeping your secure files on the DSX unit. NFS stores the port sessions as
viewed by the user, as well as adding messages when a user connects to or disconnects from a
port.
To set up port logging:
1. Go to the Port Logging panel and click the Enable Port Logging checkbox. (To turn this
feature off, clear this checkbox.)
Figure 66 Port Logging Panel
2. Type the prefix to the port data file's name on the NFS server in the Prefix field.
3. Type the maximum file size allowed in the Size field. Once this size is reached, a new file is
created to store the port log data. If you enter a value of 0, the DSX will not create a new file.
4. Type the time interval (in seconds) between two timestamp messages in the log file in the
Timestamp (Interval) field. If you enter a value of 0, this will disable timestamps in the log
file. The maximum value is 99999. This field is optional.
5. Type the time interval (in seconds) between two updates of the port log file in the NFS
Update Frequency (seconds) field. Data is buffered until the internal buffer is full or this
timestamp occurs. Then the data is written to the file. This prevents severe network traffic on
port activity where every character would trigger a write to the NFS server.
6. Type the subdirectory on the configured NFS server to write the output port data to in the
Out Directory field. This is the default log file and contains the port sessions as visible to the
user.
7. Click OK.
Figure 67 shows an example of an output file.

Upgrade the Firmware
Before you perform a firmware upgrade, you must:
1. Download the upgrades file(s), which are in WinZip format onto a folder on the local FTP
server.
2. Obtain the IP address of the FTP server.
3. Obtain the file path to the upgrade file(s). This is the path to the extracted upgrade files (For
example, cert_pact.tgz) on the FTP server.
4. Obtain a user account (Optional) if “anonymous” access to the FTP server is not supported.
The Firmware Upgrade feature allows you to upgrade the Dominion SX unit's firmware to a
newer version. These upgrades preserve user-defined settings. You do not need to re-configure
the unit after the upgrade is complete.
Important: During an upgrade procedure, do not attempt to access any unit features or
functions, including, but not limited to, Reset and Exit. Interrupting the upgrade
procedure can cause memory corruption and render the unit non-functional. Such an
action may void your warranty or service contract, and in such a case unit
repair/replacement costs are solely the responsibility of the user.
Note: Many upgrades can be performed "anonymously" from the FTP server.

Initial Configuration
Dominion SX units come from the factory with default factory settings When you first power up
and connect to the unit, you must set the following basic parameters so the device can be accessed
securely from the network:
1. Reset the administrator password.
All Dominion SX units are shipped with the same default password; therefore, to avoid
security breaches it is imperative that you change the admin password from “raritan”
to one customized for the administrators who will manage the DSX device.
2. Assign the IP address, subnet mask, gateway IP address to allow remote access.
3. Set the time and date.

DOMINION SX USER GUIDE
Once the preceding parameters are set, the following areas can be configured from either the local
console port or over the network:
•
•
•
•
service
security
users
serial ports
Setting Parameters
To set parameters the user must be logged in with administrative privileges. At the top level the
user will see the “Username” >prompt, which for initial configuration is “admin” >. If the
user has logged in with a different user name, that user name will appear instead of admin. Enter
the topcommand to return to the top menu level.
Date and Time Configuration
Note: It is important to set the date and time correctly to ensure that log entries and events
contain the correct timestamp.
Return to the top menu level by entering the topcommand. Use the following command to view
the current date and time settings:
admin > Config > Time > clock
The system displays the current settings. For example:
Date /Time Settings:
Date : 2006-09-20 23:20:24
Timezone : 13
Use the following steps to set the user date and time.
1. admin > Config > Time > timezonelist
2. admin > Config > Time > clock tz 21 datetime 2006-09-23
13:22:33
Setting Network Parameters
admin > Config > Network > interface enable true if lan1 ip
192.16.151.12 mask 255.255.255 gw 192.168.51.12
When the command is accepted, the unit automatically reboots and drops the connection. You
must reconnect to the unit using the new IP address and the username admin and password
newp/wentered in the resetting factory default password section.
Important: If the password is forgotten, the DSX will need to be reset to the factory
default from the reset button on the rear panel and the initial configuration tasks will
need to be performed again.
The Dominion SX now has the basic configuration and can be accessed remotely via SSH, GUI
or locally using the local serial port. Next, the administrator needs to configure the users and
groups, services, security, and serial ports to which the serial targets are attached to the DSX.

Security Issues
There are a number of elements to consider when addressing security for console servers:
•
•
•
Encrypting the data traffic sent between the operator console and the DSX unit.
Providing authentication and authorization for users.
Logging data relevant to the operation for later viewing and auditing purposes. In some
cases, this data is required for compliance with governmental or company regulations.
Encryption of port data log sent to a remote nfs server.
•
•
•
Security profile
“Man in the Middle”
Dominion SX supports each of these elements; however, they must be configured prior to general
use.
Configuring Encryption of Traffic
Encryption of traffic between the operator console and the DSX unit is determined by the access
methodology being used. SSH and encrypted browser access (HTTPS) are enabled by default.
SSH and HTTPS, by definition, support 128-bit encryption of the traffic between the two ends of
the link. To accept unencrypted connections, the user must manually enable the HTTP and Telnet
services.
Dominion SX optionally supports a customizable (maximum 6000 words) welcome banner that is
displayed after login. The banner identifies where the user has logged into. In addition, there is
the ability to add a consent banner that forces the user to accept the stated conditions prior to
advancing into operation of the console server.
SSL Security certificates are used in browser access to ensure that the device you are attaching to
is the device that is authorized to be connected. This section describes only how to configure the
certificates on the console server. See Appendix C for details on SSL Certificates.
Dominion SX provides a firewall function to provide protection for the IP network and to control
access between the internal router and the LAN 1, LAN 2 and the dial modem interfaces.
Dominion SX provides the ability to define security profiles which simplify the assigning of
permissions to users and groups. There are three types of profiles. Two are predefined: standard
and secure. The third allows for the definition of custom profiles; this allows assignment of all
permissions by assigning one security profile. Multiple custom security profiles may be defined.

CHAPTER 12: COMMAND LINE INTERFACE
103
As part of the security capabilities of the Dominion SX, facilities are provided to log data and to
provide alerts based on activities between the users, Dominion SX and the target device. These
facilities provide an audit trail allowing the authority responsible to review what has happened in
the system and determine who implemented what action and when.
Among the facilities provides are event logging and SNMP traps. Events may be logged locally
using Syslog. Local events are maintained in a 256K per port buffer and can be stored, reviewed,
cleared or sent periodically to an FTP server.
Users and groups are related. Dominion SX allows the administrator to define groups with
common permissions and attributes. They can then add users to the groups and each user takes o
the attributes and permissions of that group. By enabling groups, the permissions for each user do
not have to be configured reducing the time to configure users.
Command Language Interface Permissions
Administrators can execute all commands.
Operators and Observers can only execute the following commands:
•
•
•
•
•
Connect
Help
Listports
Logout.
Password
Target Connections and the CLI
The purpose of the Dominion SX unit is to let authorized users establish connections to various
targeted devices using the connect command. Before connecting to a target the terminal
emulation and escape sequence must be configured. When a target is disconnected, the
appropriate disconnect message is displayed. The Dominion SX unit also provides the ability to
share ports among users.
Set Emulation on Target
To set emulation on the target:
•
Ensure that the encoding in use on the host matches the encoding configured for the
target device. For example, if the character-set setting on a SUN Solaris server is set to
ISO8859-1, the target device should also be set to ISO8859-1.
•
Ensure that the terminal emulation on the target host connected to the Dominion SX
serial port is set to VT100, VT220, VT320 or ANSI.
On most UNIX systems, export TERM=vt100 (or vt220|vt320|ansi)” sets the preferred terminal
emulation type on the UNIX target device. For example, if the terminal type setting on a HP-UX
server is set to VT100, the Access Client should also be set to VT100.
The setting for terminal emulation on the Dominion SX unit is a property associated with the port
settings for a particular target device. Ensure that the settings for terminal emulation in the client
software, for example, Telnet or SSH client, are capable of supporting the target device.

104
DOMINION SX USER GUIDE
Set Escape Sequence
To set the Escape sequence, ensure that the default Escape sequence set on the Dominion SX
server does not conflict with a key sequence required by either the Access Client or the host
operating system. The Escape key sequence is user-configurable. Console sub-mode should be
displayed when the default escape key sequence ^] (programmable) is pressed.
The escape sequence is programmable per port because different target operating systems and
host applications may trap different escape key sequences.
Port Sharing Using CLI
It is possible for Access Client users to share ports with other authenticated and authorized users,
regardless of whether they are Access Client users(RSC) or SSH/Telnet users. Port sharing is
used for training or for troubleshooting applications.
•
Users are notified in real time if they have Write access or Read Only access at any point
during the port-sharing session.
•
Users can request Write permission to a port.

Configuring Authorization and Authentication (AA)
Services
Dominion SX supports both local and remote authentication and authorization (AA) services.
Local databases for AA are maintained in an encrypted format to prevent unauthorized access.
Remote Services
For remote services, Dominion SX supports LDAP, Active Directory, TACACS+ and Kerberos.
The Dominion SX server also supports an additional level of security services that further
enhance protection of the console server. These services are:
•
•
•
Idle time out for inactive users
User defined certificates
Security profiles.

DOMINION SX USER GUIDE
Note:
When configuring the LDAP server, the query string format on the server should contain
the name of a group configured on the SX.
When configuring the Radius server, the Filter-ID format for the users on the server
should have the following format “raritan:G{GroupOnSX}:D{DialbackNumber}“.
When configuring the TACACS+ server, the user-group format for the user on the server
should contain the name of a group configured on the DSX.
If you use older (SX 2.5 and older release ) formats of "op:1:2:4" or “a:*” , the system will
allow you to log in and will restrict the ports accessibility according to user types and their
limitations. The DSX will not have any database information about groups at this time and
will therefore display the following message in the banner after login.
Error: Cannot get group information
The port display will show all ports because there is no way for the client to know which
port limitations exist.
LDAP Configuration Menu

Configuring Ports
Ports Configuration Menu
Target serial ports are configured from the CLI using the ports menu. In addition to the
description of the physical nature of the ports, other services may also be defined. Those services
are:
•
The escape sequence used to disconnect from the port to access the emulator to send
breaks or control multi user functions. (Example: Ctrl a)
•
Set the exit string that is to be sent to the target when an idle timeout occurs. By sending
the exit string, the port is disconnected from the DSX and the next user logging into the
port will have to log into the target as well. (Cisco router example: logout)
Define the addresses to be used for direct port addressing. Direct port addressing can use
an individual IP address per port or a unique TCP Port address per port. Direct Port
Addressing is supported by both Telnet and SSH
•
See the Direct Port Addressing section for details of this feature.
Ports Config Command

1. Set your krb5.conf stanzas and ftp it using getkrbconfig [ configuration settings available
2. Get a ticket use : kinit.
3. Use kadmin to add the keys to /etc/krb5.keytab for HTTP/FQDN@REALM and
host/FQDN@REALM .These keys are consistent across boots.
4. Remote authentication and authorization can be set up along with Kerberos
authentication. HTTP and telnet access will prompt you to enter username and password.
Currently Kerberos does not automatically map to local or remote usernames.
5. Enable Kerberos.
6. After a reboot, DSX is ready for secure telnet and HTTP protocol remote access.
Diagnostic Tips:
•
•
•
Use the name command in the network menu to set the FQDN for DSX.
Disable HTTP redirect from the services menu.

Note: When executing power on/off operation, about ~5 seconds are added to the
configured sequential interval, resulting in an operational delay time (minimum amount of
time to operate). If power cycle is selected, all associated outlets will be powered off
sequentially, and then powered on sequentially. The cycle delay time reacted here
determines the minimum length of time needed to turn back on the outlets after they’re
shut down, which is user-specified by administrator. The delay time to experience would be
operational delay + user-specified delay.

2. Check Raritan support website for availability of latest firmware version:
3. Download the new SX firmware stored as UpgradePack from Raritan support website to an
FTP server (for example, a FileZilla server), assuming that FTP server has an IP address of
192.168.51.204. Extract the zip file to a folder under FTP root directory, for example:
\home\downloads\firmware\UpgradePack_2.5.6_3.1.0.5.2\Pack1of1. Make sure the folder is
accessible by an FTP user account that you have.
4. Then, log in the SX through a web browser. Select Maintenance Æ Firmware Upgrade. Enter
FTP server IP address (e.g. 192.168.51.204), FTP username and password, and the FTP
folder path where the extracted files are stored (in this example:

5. Log in SX through a web browser. On Setup Æ Services page, select TCP port on Direct Port
Access Mode, and then click OK.
6. Launch the SSH client, such as Plink or PuTTY. Enter the IP address and change the default
TCP Port to connect to the port enabled (e.g. plink -ssh -P 2203 192.168.51.9).
Case 3. Using Exclusive Write Access via RSC
1. Purpose: To ensure that you are the only user who has write access to a serial target.
2. After logging in SX via a web browser, “Port Access” tab is selected by default.
3. Connect to a Port 4 by clicking on the hyperlink labled “Port 4”.
4. Then, the Raritan Serial Console (RSC) application window launches with Write Access
enabled (icon indicated in green on status line at the bottom of the window), unless the port
has been occupied by another user.

Dominion SX Terminal Ports
All Dominion SX models, except the DSX16 and DSX32, have the same pinouts on the two
DB9M serial ports. This applies to models with two serial ports. All dual-LAN (dual-power)
models have one RJ-45 serial port. The DSX16 and DSX32 models have only one external
DB9M serial port (labeled TERMINAL). All dual-LAN (dual-power) models have one RJ-45

serial port. The DSX16 and DSX32 models have only one external DB9M serial port (labeled
TERMINAL).
Both ports support a VT100 terminal or equivalent (PC running VT100 emulation software, for
example, HyperTerminal, or Linux Minicom). Local port access must be enabled and set to the
same speed as the managed device for it to work. Local port access can be enabled or disabled
from the GUI and the CLI using the lpa command through SSH or Telnet, if it is enabled. The
telnet server on the Dominion SX unit is disabled by default.
Models with two terminal ports support an external modem on only the port with the RI signal.
On models with only one serial port, a modem is built in. The externally accessible serial port
does not include the RI signal so it supports only devices such as a VT100 terminal or equivalent.
The following table identifies the first DB9M serial port pinouts.

Here is some additional information about the Dominion SX16 and SX32 Terminal Ports:
•
•
Pins 1 and 9 are used to factory reset units shipped after August 2004.
Units shipped prior to August 2004. have the DB9M port labeled RESERVED (not
TERMINAL/RESERVED), since this port was used to factory reset the unit, with a
Factory reset adapter shipped with each SX unit. Pins 1 and 6 were used for factory reset.
The reset adapters for these early units are different from the current units, which have
local port functionality.
•
DSX16 and DSX32 units shipped from the factory with the SX2.2 (or higher) release
support the local port capability.
•
•
DSX versions through SX2.5 have the local port disabled by factory default.
In DSX3.1 or higher, the local port is enabled by default.

**Install Third Party Certificate to SX.
**Install Client Certificate root into the SX.
**Install Client Certificate into Internet Explorer
**Install Client Certificate into Netscape Navigator
A Certificate authority (CA) is an entity which issues digital certificates for use by
other parties. These certificates contain a public and private key pair as described in
standard cryptography references. There are many commercial CAs that charge for their
services; however, the Dominion SX acts as a free CA that generates its own certificates.
CA and certificates are part of highly available security technology that can be built into
browsers and web servers - in particular SSL. Browsers and Operating Systems come
with a pre-installed list of trusted Certification Authorities, known as the Trusted Root
CA store. The Dominion SX certificates can be added into a browser as Trusted CA.
Default SX Certificate Authority Settings
The Server Certificate generated in the Dominion SX unit must be installed in the browser in
order for the browser to trust the Server Certificate.
Each time you access an SSL-enabled Dominion SX unit, you see a New Site Certificate window.
You can accept this on a per-session basis or you can eliminate this window’s appearance by
accepting a session certificate permanently. The following steps will show how to install the SX
unit's certificate into the browser's certificate store.
These steps will have to be performed for each SX unit to be accessed for each client browser that
accesses the Dominion SX.
Install CA Root for IE Browsers
Each time you access an SSL-enabled Dominion SX unit, you see a New Site Certificate window.
Eliminate this window’s appearance by either accepting a session certificate permanently or by
installing the server certificate directly in your browser.
Accept a Certificate (Session-Based)
On initially connecting to a Dominion SX unit will be presented with a certificate warning screen.
This certificate by default will be signed by the local SX unit's CA as described above and you
will have to accept this certificate to continue. To eliminate the future appearance of this window
for this Dominion SX unit permanently, you must install the server certificate in your browser.

DOMINION SX USER GUIDE
Create an IAS Policy
The following section describes the steps to create a policy to allow Radius users to access the
Dominion SX. The example in this section requires two conditions, the client source IP address of
the Dominion SX and the UserID is a member of the SX User Group:
•
•
NAS-IP-Address = Type the IP address of Dominion SX
Windows-Group = SX User Group
Note: If you have multiple Dominion SX units or different models of Dominion product
family (DKX, DKSX or KX101) then using an appropriate condition to match (NAS-IP-
Address) rule will help apply the correct policy for the appropriate Dominion unit.
1. From Internet Authentication Service, right-click on Remote Access Policies and
select New Remote Access Policy.
2. The New Remote Policy Wizard starts. Click Next>.
3. Select the Set up a custom policy radio button and type a Policy name.

The value in G{} is the name of a group locally on the DSX, in this case the default
Admin group.
•
The value can be Raritan:G{Admin}:D{1234567890} if you are using the dial
back feature, where 1234567890 is the phone number for dial back.
•
The value Raritan:G{Admin} must match with the local group on the Dominion
SX.
•
•
The Dominion SX comes from the factory with the default Admin group.
Additional user groups can be created on Dominion SX unit by using the User
Management>User Group option.
•
Appropriate port access and user class (Operator or Observer) can be defined.
The group name should be specified in the Filter-Id attribute value accordingly in
order to authorize the RADIUS user to access the Dominion SX unit

APPENDIX D: SERVER CONFIGURATION
189
15. Move the new policy so it appears as the first (top) policy in the Policy List.
Note: If required, create a policy to allow dialup access to all users that are members of a
group (Windows may already have a default Policy in place to permit access by any user
with Dial In enabled, so this new policy would be optional. If you want to use a new Policy,
ensure that it appears above the default policy).
16. Ensure that the service is started.
17. Ensure that the Active Directory / Local account for the user has Dial In access enabled
in their user profile. If the Windows 2000 Domain server is in Native Mode and IAS is
registered with the Active Directory, you can set the User Profile -> Dial In setting to
use Remote Access Policies.
Cisco ACS RADIUS Server
The Cisco Access Control Server (ACS) is another authentication solution supported by the
Dominion SX unit. For the Dominion SX to support RADIUS, both the unit and the user
information must be added into the RADIUS configuration.
Configure the Dominion SX to use a Cisco ACS Server
The following procedure configures the Dominion SX unit to work with a Cisco Radius Server.
1. Select the User Management tab on DSX screen.
2. Go to the Configuration section.

APPENDIX D: SERVER CONFIGURATION
191
TACACS+ Server Configuration
The Dominion SX unit has the capability to use Terminal Access Controller Access-Control
System Plus (TACACS+) for authentication services.
The Dominion SX requires a new service to be added and two argument-value pairs to be
returned by the server. The new service is called dominionsx. The valid authorization parameter
is user-group. If this user is to have a modem dialback, the valid dialback parameter is user-
dialback.
•
user-group: Specifies the user group name that matches with local group on Dominion
SX. Group name specified for this attribute on TACACS+ Must exactly (case sensitive)
match with group name on Dominion SX unit or else authentication for TACACS+ user
on Dominion SX will fail.
•
user-dialback: Specifies the user's modem dialback number. If the SX has dialback
enabled, this phone number will be used to call back the user.

The following tables describe problems and suggested solutions for the problems.
Page Access
Table 86 Troubleshooting Page Access
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Cannot login – what are
factory defaults? (only for
Dominion SX units
username: admin (all lower case)
password: raritan (all lower case)
running firmware version
2.5 or higher)
1. Check multiple login per user status. If disabled and there is
already a session established opening anew one fails.
Cannot login – non
defaults.
2. Check Local Authentication status. If it is not enabled only
remote users may login.
Server Unreachable
If a unit appears to be unreachable by a given browser, run through
the following troubleshooting list:
1. Verify that the unit is powered on.
2. Verify that the unit is properly connected to a network.
3. Ping the unit from a computer on the same network to ensure
that network communication with the unit occurs.
•
Should the ping fail, contact your network administrator.
There may be a problem with your network configuration
that is preventing communication with the unit.
•
Should the ping succeed, consult the following topics.
DNS Error/Server
Unreachable
When attempting to connect to the Dominion SX URL using
Microsoft IE, a web page may appear indicating a DNS error and
reading that the server is unreachable.
Remove any installed Dominion SX certificates and restart the
browser.
Unsupported Encryption
The unit supports only 128-bit SSL encryption.
•
In Internet Explorer, view Help→About Internet Explorer
and determine the maximum SSL bit strength for the
browser. If it is not at the desired strength, it is
recommended that the browser be upgraded.
•
In Netscape, view Communicator→Tools→Security
Info→SSL v3.0 Configuration and ensure that 128-bit
SSL is supported

DOMINION SX USER GUIDE
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Number of Users
Exceeded
The unit has a security measure that allows only a specific number
of login pages to be authenticated at any given time. Should this
number be reached when attempting to login to the unit, a pop-up
window displays indicating that the maximum number of users is
exceeded. This is normal behavior for the unit.
Wait for a few minutes and attempt to login again. You may need to
refresh or <Shift+Refresh> your browser to successfully log on.
Firewall
Table 87 Troubleshooting Firewall
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Unable to Access the Web Firewalls must allow access on port 80 (for http) and 443 (for https)
Page
for the unit to operate through a firewall.
Contact your system administrator and request port 80 and 443, or
other custom configured ports for access.
Login Failure
Firewalls must be configured to allow connections using the
Dominion SX configurable port network parameter (Default
51000). If the firewall does not allow these connections, the applet
indicates that the login has failed.
Contact your system administrator and request that connections be
allowed on the configurable port.
SSL Security Warnings
The unit embeds its Internet Address (IP) in its SSL certificate.
Should the firewall perform Network Address Translation (NAT),
the SSL certificate will not match the IP address recognized by the
browser generating a security warning.
This is normal behavior.
The warning message does not affect operation of the unit.

APPENDIX F: TROUBLESHOOTING
205
Login
Table 88 Troubleshooting Login
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Login Failure
To provide additional security, the unit login screen expires after
three minutes. Therefore, all login attempts after this time period
will fail. Reload the browser to reset this timer.
Hold down the SHIFT key and click Reload in your browser. This
will refresh the login screen from the unit itself (not from a local
cache) and allow login to the unit.
RADIUS Users
The unit can be configured to support RADIUS authentication. Any
user not defined as a local user is considered to be a RADIUS user
when RADIUS is enabled.
If the RADIUS server is not reachable for user authentication for
any reason, the unit will not allow the user to log on until the unit
receives the result of the authentication request from the RADIUS
server.
Authentication may take up to 20 seconds. Be patient and wait until
either the user successfully logs in, or the Authentication Denied
message is displayed.
Port Access
Table 89 Troubleshooting Port Access
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Port Access Refresh
The unit does not automatically refresh the Port Access list. It is
refreshed only when the user clicks Port Access. Therefore, it is
possible that a user will have permissions revoked and these
changes will not be visible on the port access screen until the Port
Access button is activated.
•
You must log out and log in again for the new restriction to be
applied. Then the restricted ports are invisible.
•
Whenever possible, it is recommended that Administrators not
change port access rights to a user who is already logged in to
the unit.

Upgrade
Table 90 Troubleshooting Upgrade
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
FTP - Server Unreachable
If FTP server specified in the upgrade panel is unreachable or
incorrect, the upgrade process halts until a response is received
from the FTP server or until a timeout occurs.
Wait and allow the FTP Server Unreachable message to appear.
FTP - File Not Found
The unit requires a package of upgrade files to be in the directory
specified by the upgrade path. This package must have all included
files and an upgrade.cnf file. Should this file not exist, or if the
contents of the file are not in the indicated places, the File Not
Found message will appear.
Verify that the upgrade package is in the correct directory and
confirm the upgrade path and IP address of the FTP server.
If the upgrade still fails, reinstall the upgrade package and begin
again.
Modem
Table 91 Troubleshooting Modem
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Login Failure
The unit supports Web-browser access through the modem at
connection speeds of 28.8K bps or greater. If the baud rate is
insufficient, the user may be unable to log on to the unit via the
modem.
28.8K bps minimum connection speed is recommended for
browser-based modem authentications (login). For CLI-based
access, using SSH or Telnet, speed as low as 9600bps is adequate.
