Field Description

English alphanumeric characters is allowed. The minimum number of characters

is based on the KVM ACCESS's account policy settings (see “KVM ACCESS

Authentication” on page 44).

• External Authentication: The Login name should be one that exists on the

external authentication server.

•

Note: These external servers provide authentication services only. They do not

provide authorization services. Authorization is provided through the KVM

ACCESS system, therefore the access rights need to be set in KVM ACCESS.

Description Optional additional user information is included here. A maximum of 256 Bytes

is allowed.

User Type Assign the new user a User Type from the drop down list. See p. 62 for details.

Authentication Server • For authentication by KVM ACCESS, leave the selection as is. For

authentication by an external authentication service, select one from the drop

down list.

•

Note: Before making this selection, an external authentication server must first

be added. See “External Authentication Servers” on page 45, for details.

User Base RDN If the authentication server is an LDAP server, the user's base RDN (Relative

Distinguished Name) setting must be in this field.

Session Timeout • To have a session time out after the user has been idle for a specified amount of

time, select the Timeout after radio button. Valid settings are from 1-99

minutes. The default is 3 minutes.

• To have no session time out, select the No timeout radio button.

•

Note: This setting pertains to Web log in sessions.

Unexpected Disconection

Timeout

If the user unexpectedly disconnects (closes the browser), KVM ACCESS ends

the session after the time specified here. The setting is from 3-10 minutes. The

default is 3 minutes.
