150xxx | LDAP Feature for the RCSxxx
SIP Privileges tab of the DPO provides the means for a user who cannot view
the on-board web interface to launch Video Viewer sessions to a subset of SIPs
through the RCS Client. This authorization is controlled by a combination of
the configuration parameters set in the DPO and the SIP Objects contained in
the Dell Association Object (DAO).
If you do not wish a user to have authorization to access the on-board web
interface, but you do wish them to be able to launch viewer sessions from the
RCS Client, perform the following steps:
1 Create a Dell SIP object for each SIP that the User(s) is (are) allowed to
access.
2 Create an Active Directory User account for each of the users to be
controlled.
3 Create a DPO. Do not check any of the three boxes on the KVM RCS
Privileges tab. Check the Console Redirection Access box on the KVM SIP
Privileges tab.
NOTE: If you check any of the KVM RCS Privileges checkboxes and you
check the Console Redirection Access box, the normal User Privileges
associated with the privilege level checked in the KVM RCS Privileges box
will take precedence over the Console Redirection Access checkbox, and the
user will still be able to view the AMP.
4 Create a DAO.
5 Open the properties dialog for the DAO created in step 4.
a. Add all the user accounts created in step 2.
b. Add the DPO created in step 3.
c. Add the SIP objects created in step 1.
Using Active Directory to Log In to the RCS
You can use Active Directory to log in to the RCS through the RCS software or
OBWI.
The login syntax is consistent for all three methods:
