Authentication Services
KVM ACCESS provides an internal Username / Password authentication service. In addition, KVM
ACCESS supports the following third party external authentication servers: LDAP, Active Directory,
RADIUS, TACACS+, and Windows NT Domain.
Note: 1. Authentication refers to determining the authenticity of the person logging in;
authorization refers to assigning permission to use the device's various functions.
2. These external servers provide authentication services only - they do not provide
authorization services. Authorization is provided through the KVM ACCESS system.
By adding an external authentication server to the KVM ACCESS system (see page 45 for details), when
you add a user account, you can select the external authentication server from the list of authentication
servers (see “Add a user account” on page 31 ).
Click Authentication Services on the menu bar to open the Authentication Server List in the Interactive
Display panel and show all the authentication services that have been configured.
