Prima IP KVM Switch User Guide R1.4
No Password – the viewer will prompt you for no password. Anyone who is with the viewer and passes the
security level check of the viewer, could well establish the connection.
Global Password – the viewer will prompt you for a global password, which is used by all who want to make
viewer connections to
Prima IP
.
User Password – the viewer will prompt you with user-specific password. With this setting, each login user
will be checked against his or her corresponding password before allowing viewer connection.
Global user password : Here you should enter the password that is used when the global user
password setting is enabled as your active password policy.
There are altogether nine possible combinations of Viewer Security Password Policies that are
available for a flexibility to adapt to your security needs.
Please note:
Either
Password
or
Security
(SSL/PKI authentication) settings should be used with due
precaution since anyone with a viewer and knowledge of the access IP and port number of
Prima IP
can
establish a remote connection, if
Prima IP
connection is set at
No Password
and no SSL / no PKI
authentication (Viewer connection security - Level 1). With these settings, there will be no password
protection and no encryption for data transmission over the viewer connection. Unless you have taken
other proper security measures or you simply have no security concern, these “unsafe settings” is not
suggested for critical/sensitive remote connection across internet.
