• Type – The Type drop-down menu allows you to choose between three methods of assigning access rights to authenticated accounts:
Basic, User, and Group.
o Basic – When selected, this method authenticates accounts that log in, and gives each account full access rights to the KVM switch.
o User – When selected, this method authenticates accounts that log in, and gives them access rights to the KVM switch based on

attribute.
• User Name Attribute – The User Name Attribute field should be populated with the name of the attribute that contains the user login
name for an account. Note: The name that an account uses to log into the KVM switch cannot contain any spaces. If the user login
name contains a space, authentication will not be successful.
• Access Rights Attribute – The Access Rights Attribute field is only needed when User or Group is selected in the Type drop-down
menu. It should be populated with the name of a directory attribute that contains the Access Rights Permission String (See the Access
Rights Permission String section for details), which determines what rights a User or Group has to the KVM. Any directory attribute
that can contain strings may be used to hold the Access Rights Permission String, so you can either re-purpose an existing attribute or
create a brand new one.
