Remote Authentication
Note to CC-SG Users
When the Dominion KX II is controlled by CommandCenter Secure Gateway, CC-SG
authenticates users and groups,
except for local users (requiring local port access). When CC-SG
is controlling the KX II, local port users will be authenticated against the local user database or
the Remote Authentication server (LDAP or RADIUS) configured on the KX II; they will not be
authenticated against the CC-SG user database.
For additional information about CC-SG authentication, refer to the CommandCenter Secure
Gateway User Guide , Administrator Guide , or Deployment Guide at:
http://www.raritan.com/support/productdocumentation .
Supported Protocols
In order to simplify management of usernames and passwords, the Dominion KX II provides the
capability to forward authentication requests to an external authentication server. Two external
authentication protocols are supported: LDAP and RADIUS.
Note on Microsoft Active Directory
Microsoft Active Directory uses the LDAP protocol natively, and can function as an LDAP
server and authentication source for Dominion KX II. If it has the IAS (Internet Authorization
Server) component, a Microsoft Active Directory server can also serve as a RADIUS
authentication source.
