device, like a barcode reader or a card swipe device, that you want to be
authenticated.
When users are connecting to the Terminal Server via serial ports, the
user database can be used to:
z
Have the user authenticated prior to establishing a connection to a
network host.
z
Establish a different connection type to the host specific to each user.

z
Authenticate users prior to providing access to a serially attached console port (such as a Unix
server or router).
