KVM over IP
5.5.8 Authentication
On this screen you can specify where the IP-KVM will look in order to authenticate the users. You can use
"Local Authentication", this means you need to have created the user account on the IP-KVM and the
user/group information residing on the IP-KVM for authentication.
The other options allow you to specify an LDAP or a RADIUS Server to use for the login authentication.
These methods are very useful when you want to map users into specific groups which have certain
privileges. It is usually far easier and simpler to refer to already existing groups, rather than having to
re-enter everything into the IP-KVM.
Note: Whatever you configure, you can always login over the network as the superuser "super". The
superuser is always authenticated and authorized locally, so you always have a "back door" to the IP-KVM.
LDAP Access
The IP-KVM uses LDAP only for authentication (password verification). User privileges and private settings
are still stored locally at the IP-KVM. That’s why a user account has to be created on the IP-KVM before
this user can login via LDAP. Also, all privilege configurations have to be done within the IP-KVM user
