Managing KVM console switches 44
Provides a secure managed directory-based authentication for user names and passwords, as well
as access control. User rights and user accounts are stored in the directory. For more information on
LDAP Access Control, see "Using directory services integration (on page

Configuring user accounts
The Users category enables you to configure user accounts. There are two types of user accounts: internal
and external. Internal accounts, such as Local Authentication accounts, reside within the console switch,
while external accounts, such as LDAP Authentication and Access Control accounts, are stored in the
directory.
When you select the Users category for the first time, the Manage Console Switch function retrieves and
displays user information and current access levels based on the type of authentication you have selected.
•
When Local Authentication or LDAP Authentication Only modes are enabled, the Manage Console
Switch retrieves and displays a list of user names and current access levels from the console switch.
Through the Users category, when Local Authentication or LDAP Authentication Only modes are
enabled, you can:
o
Add, modify, or delete users in this listing (user names must match the user in the Directory if
LDAP is used for authentication)
