• The
Remote Console feature is enabled on the Access Settings page.
Procedure

The
Launch tab displays the remote console launch options.
2. Click the .NET Console button.
A message notifies you that the .NET remote console is already in use.
3. Click Share.
The session leader receives your request to join a shared remote console session.
If the session leader clicks
Yes, you are granted access to the session with access to the keyboard and mouse.
Shared remote console (.NET IRC only)
The shared remote console feature allows multiple users to connect to the same remote console session. This feature can
be used for activities such as training and troubleshooting.
The first user to initiate a remote console session connects to the server normally and is designated as the session leader.
Any subsequent user who requests remote console access initiates an access request for a satellite client connection. A
dialog box for each access request opens on the session leader desktop. The request includes the requester user name
and DNS name or IP address. The session leader is prompted to grant or deny access. If there is no response, permission is
denied.
Passing the session leader designation to another user is not supported.
If a connection failure occurs, reconnecting is not supported. A remote console session must be restarted to allow user
access after a connection failure.
During a shared remote console session, the session leader has access to all remote console features. Other users can
access only the keyboard and mouse.
iLO encrypts shared remote console sessions by authenticating the client first, and then the session leader determines
whether to allow new connections.
