selected authentication server must be already installed and configured in
order for authentication to work. Using one or more of the many types of
popular authentication methods supported on the KVM can reduce
administrator workload when a user account needs to be added, modified, or
deleted.
Choosing Among Authentication Methods
The administrator can select among authentication methods to control logins
to the following components:
• For logins to the KVM
The authentication method chosen for the KVM is used for subsequent
access through
telnet
,
ssh
, or the Web Manager.
• For logins to all KVM ports
The following table describes the supported authentication methods and
indicates which methods are available for the KVM and which are available
for KVM ports. All authentication methods except “Local” require an
authentication server, which the administrator specifies while selecting the
authentication method. The KVM uses local authentication if any of the
authentication servers fails.
